• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hi folks. I am sure you have heard of this beofre and I tried troubleshooting but still cant fix this. I get the black screen with no destop icons excpet the taskbar and start menu. I cant access folders or go into c drive. it happens in safe and normal windowws modes. i ran antivirus and no go. i have avast which runs in realtime and was updated today. i tried vista recovery dsik to repair windows and no go there. i am able to get internet and email as i write this. it was working fine around a few hrs back. All i was doing was burning sf2 files to cd to backup. My hardrive still has 10GB disk space. I dont know what else? any advice here?
 
hi dsawan, one of the probs with vista is its a hungry beast, you need AT LEAST 20GB or more, of free space for it to work.
