Windows xp blank login screen

So I started troubleshooting myself and I was able to determine what was the problem with my Windows XP was. I had a registry error and I simply did a scan and bam issue resolved.

I used a free program I got from downloads. Just be careful some programs will just be ads that scan your computer and say if you want to fix please buy!

Abexo free version will scan and allow you to remove error's in the registry. Just be careful to read what you are removing!!!

Hope that little rant was helpful!!! Buradori said:. I can't believe it was this simple For those of you who have laptops especially Dell laptops the problem could very well be The tiny pin right under and in the middle of your display. It should be sticking up straight and out a bit. I took off my control panel on my Dell Inspiron and I notice that part of the inside piece was broken.

You can also use tweezers to pull it out more and see if your screen comes back on. It is so odd because my screen worked in VGA and safe mode but not on a normal boot so I thought that for sure it had to be the video card or driver.

Try it out! It could safe you a lot of time and stress. Let me know how it goes and if you need any further help. Good luck! Blackberry Desktop Manager and Roxio Media Manager I just had, and subsequently resolved, my issue with the windows black screen at startup. Before this issue, my comp and XP would load blazingly fast.

Then a few days ago I began having to wait a long time for XP to load. My comp would seem to load fine even as XP started to load. I would see the Windowns XP logo, then the blue "Welcome" screen with the startup jingle. But then the screen would go black for two minutes before finally displaying my desktop and continuing with startup. Very frustrating. After reading a post in this thread about someone whose issue began when they installed Nero, I figured it could be a conflict with the Roxio app I had just installed a few days prior when I bought my blackberry.

I hope this helps someone. I'm having a similar issue to most of the people in this thread. My computer around 4 hours ago started having the issue of the screen showing up until I get to the sign-in menu. Then the sound still works and I can even log in even though I must do it while looking at a black screen. I didn't download anything today, or do anything differently than normal. I couldn't find the site to find updated drivers. I did try updating through windows and I don't think it had anything to update for me.

And I tried Rollback Driver, but the laptop still wasn't functioning correctly. Any help would be appreciated. Same problem! I have the same problem, I start the PC I guess. The sounds can be heard The only different thing is that : I enter the safe mode Start in safe mode then reduce your refresh rate to 60 hurtz peace.

I have the identical issue as MaverickScot. I'm using the newest drivers from the Nvidia site also. Has anyone been able to fix their issue? I recommend u to test the file in any computer before format your hard disk. No Account? Sign up. By signing in, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Already have an account? Sign in.

That or lose everything on my computer!!! What can I do???? First, when I turn it on, it shows the Windows XP startup and then the computer screen goes black.

I tried going on safe mode but it didn't work. I don't know what to do. I have tried everything and still nothing. There is a way you can have a try when you meet this problem.

Unplug your computer and take out of the battery if you're using a laptop. Then hold on and wait for about two minutes. After that, plug your computer, put the battery back in, and start your computer. It'll be normal again.
