When I start up my computer, it seems like everything's going fine, it continues to load.
After the loading is finished, I get a blank screen with only my mouse to move around.
(Like before the username's show up before logon)
I've let my computer set for a long time, maybe it was just loading slow, but it gets stuck, right before logon at the blank screen.
There are no error messages, and no new hardware.
I used repair to check for startup problems.
I don't have system restore enebled.
I cannot get into safe mode. (does the same logon thing)
This is vista home premium x64.
What can I do to fix this.
(I also have a parallel drive with xp on it, so I can modify files if needed)


**Extra info if needed**
It seems to be exactly like a normal startup without the user accounts showing up.
I get to the black screen with the mouse, and the computer still has hard drive activity like its starting up.
Then after a couple mins it just seems like a normal computer idling.
Also, the screen shuts off after 20 mins, which means the screen saver options got loaded.
I'm wondering is there anything that could be halting the background and user logins to show up?

I'm not sure what to tell you....I would boot into xp and defrag the vista drive I would also run a scandisk on the vista disk with all options ticked and do a full virus scan let me know if that helps.

I have some new information, I've been searching around, and apprently it could be because of a bad windows update. That seems the most likely, any idea how I can uninstall windows updates without safemode or system restore?, About the only things I can seem to do are modify files and the registry from recovery menu

Someone else may know, but i don't know of anyway to remove a windows update without being able to boot the OS. A system restore would be a good way but I saw you had it disabled. You may have shot yourself in the foot by disabling it . Try some of the options above; check-disk verifies OS files this may fix your problem it could just be some file corruption.
