{WindowsXp Group} Welcome Screen Distorted or Reboots - Only opens in safe-mode

Hi ,

 ;       you can try the following things,

        1) try the Last known good configuration( from the same menu where you select the safe menu) , sometimes it would work.

    ;    2)  If there were some Device driver updates that was done recently u can try  revoking it.

       3) try also resetting the resolution that you have set when windows boots up ,(safe mode uses by default the 800*600 ) also the refresh rate of your monitor .

 ;      4) you can always give a try with system restore if you think some software updates caused this.

 

Thanks and Regards,

VR.Shrinivasan

When I start my PC it will boot fine until it gets to the Welcome
screen.  It is improperly painted with blocks of the screen in
different places on the page. ; I can see my mouse pointer and it moves
properly but I cannot get windows to react properly.&nbsp; Even though I
can see a cursor blinking in the pw field windows will not accept any
keystrokes.&nbsp; The screen goes black and tries to redraw itslef about
every 30 seconds.&nbsp; Sometimes when windows gets to this point it just
reboots itself over and over in a loop.

When I login under safe mode everything is fine.

This happened once before to my other PC and I chalked it up as a
fluke, now I'm sure it wasn't. &nbsp;I am running them both through a KVM
switch which I suspect may be involved, but that said, after this
started happening, I plugged the monitor directly into the PC and had
the same issue.

I made no hardware changes around the time this started happening.
Have had same config for 6mos to a year now.

My Specs:
AMD Athalon64 3200
WinXP Pro (32bit)
2GB Ram
nVidia GeForce MX4000

I&#39;m at a complete loss and would like to avoid having to do a full
reinstall of Windows.
