Black Screen with Cursor on Windows Vista startup
Laptop Acer Aspire 5315. On Windows Vista start up, after the blue Windows Welcome Screen, goes to Black Screen with moveable cursor and stays there for approx. three minutes before continuing start up.Total start up takes around five minutes and computer performs perfectly thereafter.
Have tried:
Start up in safe mode
Repair using recovery disk( also Acer Master Disk)
Cltr +Alt+Delete on Black Screen and entering New Task... explore
"... explore.exe
Although there may be no connection between the two, another problem is that on the command 'Restart' ,after the Acer Screen the start up blocks on a black screen with a small white line on top left corner and momentarily this message appears:-
Try NTFS5 : No zhgrldr
It then requires a manual close down and a 'cold start' (taking a further 5 Minutes).
