Vista desktop shows black screen
I was playing dragon age and I quit to desktop, and it was hanging there with a black screen for quite a while. After a while it told me that explorer.exe had frozen, so I hit ctrl alt del and restarted. Upon restarting everything up to the login screen was normal but once I logged in, all I saw was my mouse cursor and a black screen. I can hit ctrl alt del and come up with the normal screen except with no option to start task manager. I tried safe mode and get the same result. Suggestions?

Update: I put in my vista disk and booted from it to start repair. It can't find anything wrong.

Well, I reinstalled vista. It was surprisingly quick. I tried a couple of the fixes I found and none of them were working, and this computer needed to be cleaned out anyways. Could a mod please close this thread?

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?
