I updated a Vista Ultimate version into a W7 ultimate and I'm still happy with this procedure. Since a few days, I find my old boot animation of Vista (green dots moving from left to right) instaed of the new W7 screen. Is anybody out there who has the same problem? How can I bring the new boot screen back without destroying anything in my system? I'm not sure when this problem occoured first time but I believe it appeared after some updates, which I installed recently. It also could have happened after having done some cleaning with CCleaner or W7 manager. For me it is impossible to trace back to the date of first appearence Thanks for you attention and possible help on the above
Run this line for the new version Code: bcdedit /set bootux standard This makes it Vista green bar - or BASIC Code: bcdedit /set bootux basic This makes it a all black screen - no logo - no green bar Code: bcdedit /set bootux disabled
Sorry but this didn't help. Maybe I made a mistake, but ran it as administrator in cmd window. Please advise
Set your resolution higher. It defaults to a basic (not Vista) loading screen if your screen is under a certain resolution. You may have to re-do the "bcdedit /set bootux standard" if you changed it to basic or disabled.
I did a install on a dell mini 10 it does it to not a big deal to me it run fine with home pre aero works and looks good for being so small
Sorry but I'm running my screen under default resolution set by the digital adapter for my 22" LCD monitor as was at the time when I had the original boot animation. I tried your advises several times today without any success. Perhaps this small video doesn't exist any more and system takes the one which is left over? As said: I updated from Vista to W7 and it worked at the beginning. Since a few days, I find myself in a vista like boot environment not knowing the cause for it....
I think I read somewhere the new boot logo depends on the hardware... I have a netbook with intel graphics card that does NOT display the new logo, I have the vista like instead... If so, we are screwed
Well how is this for strange then ? PC connected to 22" lcd monitor 1680 x 1050, iget win7 boot screen. PC connected to 42" plasma screen 1920 x 1080 i get vista boot screen. Not really that much of a cconcern but it is odd.
Its not odd its cause at that point the screen has not the right resolution. And then it WONT show the 7 screen.
In your bios look for VGA memory, or video memory and set it at least 8MB It happened to me when video memory in bios was set to 1MB Good Luck!
There was a guy who made up a 7 DVD before the RTM ones were released - it was all RTM code but it came from an image not an iso. He cobbled it up with Vista boot code and made an iso which would boot using Vista's bootscreen during install but 7's when installed. It ran fine for me for a while until one day it decided to boot using Vista's bootscreen again - never did find out why. I downloaded one of the "untouched" DVDs and it hasn't happened since. No help here I know but it may explain what happened to you if you used a DVD made up in the same manner. Besides 7 is really only Vista forcefully placed on a diet.
My 22" monitor has the same resolution as yours but at this time, I have Vista boot animation. As said in another reply to my problem that it might be a matter of hardware, I only can say NO, because I had the new animation on my screen at the beginnig but since a while, I have the Vista style. I probably have changed or deleted something with one of the tweeking tools CCleaner or W7 manager but don't know what.
Bingo..... you won the the 1st price. It was in the Bios. When I started the machine using Vista, my Bios was not modded. After having installed W7, I found the new boot screen and worked with it some days. After the mod, a new Bios was flashed and the memory was set to 1 MB instead of 8MB. I changed it a minute ago into 8 and found my W7 animation. Thanks for this great help. Guess it was not only good for me but also helpfull to many other guys out there....
