anonymous_user Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 usually when entering safe mode, it shows me all the drivers and stuff thats loading. With XPize and Darkside installed (i dont know which one to blame), the screen is just black with a unusual graphic at the bottom (looks like a messed up progress bar?).Anyone else notice this?

Kiki Burgh Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 didn't notice it when i did earlier ... let me take a look at it again ... as for the progress bar, it's really how it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous_user Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 the "normal" progress bar has straight lines of the same height.this one is ugly and the lines all vary. i dont it even progresses; the lines all show at once, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedox Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 would you mind uninstalling xpize darkside, and then test safemode. Please let me know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous_user Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 well i guess darkside is not the culprit, however, after uninstallation, the normal bootscreen is gone. instead its all black with some strange dots at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zedox Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 okey dokey...can you, (on the machine with the problem) goto the following folder..C:\Windows\system32 (C:\ maybe different on your machine)Then zip or rar the file, ntoskrnl.exe.Then could you upload it to rapidshare.com and provide the link for me?I'll check the file over and to see if it is a problem with the actual boot file.
