black screen

I was having trouble with a black screen appearing after I logged in, I found a way to get it to go away. Restart the computer in safe mode, login as Administrator. Then, go to C:\Windows\System32 folder and run msconfig.exe Next, go to the Services tab and uncheck Themes Hit Apply, OK, then restart your computer. After login it should take you to a normal Classic Mode type themed desktop. It will allow the system to run, but it won't have themes.

Make sure you have the Themes service enabled, and the Desktop Manager Service as well.

Try another video card or update the drivers for the existing card (try to get vista drivers). It seems like the problem is that current Vista video subsystem does not work with your video hardware well
