System: Dell Inspiron 1110 64bit, Windows 7.
Problem: When booting it'll reach the login/splash screen. Well almost, it shows the blue windows 7 splash screen image, the mouse (with loading symbol for first few seconds), and nothing else. The mouse seems a little bit big/stretched, but I can still move it around.
The problem occurs if I try to boot normally, in safe mode, safe mode with networking or command prompt, boot from last known good configuration, or even Repair Your Computer.
Is there anything I can do?
Notes:
- I don't have a Windows boot disc.
- I don't think any of the keys are stuck.
Update: Ran startup repair from a Windows recovery USB. Same problem happened after restart.
this sounds like what happened to me when my HD failed. Have you been having any SMART errors or problems with your HD lately? – Nate Koppenhaver – 2011-12-30T23:56:29.940
@NateKoppenhaver Nope. I'm assuming you mean there would have been some alert/dialog detailing an error – Adam Lynch – 2011-12-31T02:18:32.407
