I was searching around on the web for a sample video on Windows 7 Starter when I realized that there was a boot animation for Windows 7. I have never seen it before on my computer. It just says Starting Windows then goes to the login screen. There is a tiny red dot though appearing just before the logon screen when the "Starting Windows" is still being shown. The red dot must be one of the four dots that transform into the Windows logo. Can anyone tell me why and how I can get the animation to appear?
Support for my card ended in 9.3. So I have Catalyst 9.3 only, but I'm sure that's not the cause of the problem.
There used to be a way through msconfig to adjust your boot screen settings, even the ability enable the graphical loader - which I dont recommend. But your best shot is to run msconfig through the run command. On the Boot tab you will see the options available to adjust the bootloader settings.
I used have a simular problem when I was using a "HDMI" setup.In order to be able to see the boot up I connected my "VGA" cable to test and it shows up! Hope that helps.
I believe the boot logo displays in 1024 * 768, so this probably isn't the issue. Maybe your screen doesnt natively support that resolution? (Unlikely)
No, but I believe the problem is that the computer has almost no graphic rendering function without a display driver (windows emulated or official ATI) as during installation of Windows 7, screen resolution drops to 640x480 (I guess) with about 8-bit color. Does that happen to you people too? Maybe that's the problem; only when Windows is started is the graphics card working. Screen supports the resolution (of course), but maybe the motherboard is confused with what to tell the graphics card to do? Maybe? But I do see a red and green dot appearing just before the logon screen appears. Those two dots should be the start point of the total of four colors that transforms and revolve to become the Windows logo. Right? Anyway, any method of solving this problem?
Ok, then something's really wrong with the laptop when no graphics driver is installed, be it Windows emulated or official. Any solutions?
i had the same problem until i went into msconfig , clicked on the boot tab and unchecked the no gui . now it works again .
It could be a resolution issue, although I know one of the leaked updates does change the boot logo, maybe thats the way for you to go! Others had noticed too that the boot logo was originally mostly unanimated, but after the update it has a very pleasant result.
