Can someone help me fix my computer?

Post icon  Posted 14 November 2009 - 07:32 AM

My whole screen is black and there is nothing there besides the windows sidebar...

What I think happened is there was an error with Vista Premium (My OS) and then all the processes that normally are running such as acrotray got closed but I'm really not sure. Also if it is I could really use a list of those processes and where I could find them. Below I've included some screenshots:

Does a reboot help? Does it do this automatically upon "logging in"? Have you recently updated any graphics drivers? Have you ran any unknown executables recently?

Judging by the users name, I think it's a safe bet he's running questionable software ;)

Does that say 66 Processes? That's quite a few. If so, click the "Show Processes from All Users" and post screenshots.

Wait... Test Mode?? Didn't see that

Try opening a cmd prompt as administrator (right-click on dos prompt and select Run As Administrator)

Then in the prompt type:

bcdedit /set testsigning off

Then re-boot

Let me know if that fixes it.

No, I don't think Vista is that smart ;)

Maybe Windows 7 snuck in overnight and kicked it's ass and made it straighten up so the upgrade wouldn't be a problem :P
