Hi. I have this problem using win xp. I hope somebody can help me. I've searched the internet and all I can find are black screens after windows loading bar screen, but my problem is before loading bar screen.
One day I booted normally and before logon screen i got a bsod. PC rebooted imidietely. I've got those one before and pc restarts normally so I didn't freak out, but this time something has changed.
PC starts normally but before entering the windows xp loading bar screen with the windows xp logo it hangs on a blank (black) screen, not black screen of power saving, the monitor is on, more like the background of MS-DOS.
I tried safe mode and I noticed that when loading the drivers it got stuck loading vga850.fon. Just stopped loading and stayed like that forever in line c:\windows\fonts\vga850.fon.
Then I tried the windows xp OS cd and expanded vga850.fon from the i386 folder to the windows\system folder but problem continued, then I tried expanding vga850.fon to the windows\fonts folder but it says that it could not be expanded.
Then I tried booting Kubuntu 7.10 from a live cd and it booted ok so it's not a hardware problem. I'm writing this from there.
Does anybody know what can I do to solve this? I don't want to reinstall windows. Thanks for any answer.
