Strange Window before the logon window rmanal 12/30/2008 10:30:01 AM Hello, I have changed the letter of my secondary hard disk et now just before the logon screen (at the start of Windows and when I change the user, before the logon sreen) I see a strange window appears containing non sense characters and with just an "OK" button. If I click on this button the window disappears and then everything works well. How can I know which is launching this window? thank you -- Rmanal

Re: Strange Window before the logon window rmanal 12/30/2008 2:34:06 PM I have already done the following: - booting in safe mode: same result. - use of msconfig to desactivate one by one all I can (.ini, services, run directory in registry, driver, ...): same result. Is there a way to follow step by step what is done by Windows after the start of the OS and before the launch of a session? -- Rmanal "Ron Badour" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Start with this technique: > > How to perform advanced clean-boot troubleshooting in Windows XP > http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316434 > > -- > Regards > > Ron Badour > MS MVP > Windows Desktop Experience > > > "rmanal" <rmanal[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:C24D3FE2-6067-4019-8F48-4D628680FDCA[ at ]microsoft.com... > > Hello, > > > > I have changed the letter of my secondary hard disk et now just before the > > logon screen (at the start of Windows and when I change the user, before > > the > > logon sreen) I see a strange window appears containing non sense > > characters > > and with just an "OK" button.
