Re: extended pre boot services menu

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Oh yes, I did download the patch and it didn't seem to do anything, even
after I restarted my computer. It still flashes a black screen breifly, with
lots of writing on it that I don't have time to read (I think it says
something about versions) and then the black screen that asks me to enter
current password. Which I do and hit enter.
ThenI get the black Windows multicolored screen with the green bar going
across.
Then sometimes it goes to a blue screen that says windows is starting up and
hangs there for about 10 minutes or so until the screen saver kicks in then
it will go to another blue screen asking for yet another password asking me
to log onto windows. It has a small screen overtop of the windows logon
screen that says "Windows could not log you on. Make sure that your user name
and domain are correct, then type your password again.Letters in the password
must be typed using the correct case." If I hit the OK button, it never lets
me changeanything on the window underneat, they both dissapear. Then it logs
on as usual.
