Log on problems

[xyorkie]

After entering user name and password when logging on, screen goes blank?. Pressing control/Alt/Delete brings up the correct dialoge box.
Boots up in safe mode OK.

Does this happen under every account when logging on?

 

[xyorkie]

Yes, happens under both accounts, computer is not connected to a network

You need new video adapter drivers. Right before the logon window appears is the roughly first time that you are in pure kernel32 mode.

Update the video drivers.

I am assuming you did not fiddle with the bootscreens.

If I put a picture on the desktop in safe mode when I log on in normal mode the picture is on the desktop but no desktop icons or task bar. If I press control/alt/delete the task manager appears but no processes running, cpu useage 0%. If I move the mouse around cpu useage goes to 2%.
Is it OK to update video drivers in safe mode?.

It is perfectly fine to update Video drivers in Safe Mode.
You just will not get very many configuration options.
