W7 Hanging On Welcome Screen

Post by **Claw** » Tue Dec 01, 2009 4:49 pm

W7 had an update today, allowed it to go through its rigmaroll and on restarting it's just sat there on the welcome screen.

We were getting along so well, I hope this isn't going to be the beginnings of a really pants relationship... if so then it will be consigned to being a gaming OS and I'll just continue usin Ubuntu for serious work...

Hmm, all is well, W7 threw a wobbler because it didn't like Poweriso auto-mounting an image on restart.

I wouldn't have wanted it to do this anyway, so it's not a problem... anyway... please move along now, nothing to see here...

If you needed to auotload an ISO, you can use that delay thingy

Delay thingy? Please don't go and get all techie with me Bob...

Is there some way of delaying when a program boots?

I thought W7 had a delay program bootup facility?

In a computer mag I found a bunch of progs which emulated W& features.
The only one I liked and use with both vista and XP is startup delayer.

allows a quick boot with the non vital stuff starting up minutes later, or you can cancel them starting altogether.

I don't really need it to boot with a mounted image, it's just that PowerISO was evidently being a problem.

W7 wouldn't have Alcohol120 at all, which is what I had used in the past simply because it did the job I wanted it to. Now I use PowerISO for BF2 so that I don't have to drop in a DVD whenever I want to play. So it really isn't a big issue just to tell it to mount an image when I need it to.

This time I'm going to keep my desktop as clear as possible of shortcuts. It's taking some self-discipline to click Start, then Programs and then running an app that way. My desktop used to be littered with shortcuts... littered. I didn't have any problems finding things until I had to install a new video card which would reset my resolution and then when I had everything back to normal all my shortcuts would be on one side of the screen and not as I was familiar with... but none of that has anything to do with W7 and mounting an image does it... How did I get here then?

Yes, yes, yes... we all know how this works... they then decided to grow a Mulberry tree in the back garden, "and guess what they found under the Mulberry tree?" (in that cootchy cootchy way) etc, etc... didn't you think I knew about Mulberry tree's, eh Bob? Tsk...
