Once I login as myself on the console, I can switch to the GUI on 7 and it looks exactly the same (black screen, cursor flashing) - and I can log in normally if I type my pw in the blind. I also noticed that it is - apparently TRYING to set up the GUI - the screen appears "purple" with nothing on it just before it flashes to black. I may take a short video of it - mostly just pt play with my phone ;-) - it only takes 12 seconds anyway.
