I've just installed Vista, and the installation went like a charm. After
having started up for the the first time (succesfully) I modified the folder,
taskbar, sidebar and displaysettings to better suit me, and I installed the
latest updates from WindowsUpdate. I didn't install anything else, so my
Vista installation is a clean installation with no 3rd party software at all.
However, each time I try to start Vista now, it hangs during the
low-resolution progress bar at startup (the green one that has "Microsoft"
beneath it). No error messages, no nothing.
I can, however, startup and go into safemode and safemode w/networking, but
when I try to startup normally after that, it just hangs again.
I highly doubt this is a hardware issue, since my XP-installation has worked
fine without any errors of any kind.
I also tried booting from my Vista DVD to try the repair tools, but none of
them helped. The Startup Repair simply failed for no apparent reason (even
this without error messages), and System Restore didn't want to cooperate. It
said it just couldn't use any of the restore points.
So now I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I really want Vista to work, but
it simply doesn't.
Does anybody have any tips on what I can do to make Vista work?
