We are currently setting up multiple labs with a Windows 7 image, and after working out most of the bugs, we’re currently stuck with an issue with the black screen that seems to plague a lot of Windows 7 users. When we log in, with or without a privledged user, the background images is removed and there’s just a black background with the rest of the OS loaded fine. We have tried the shell fix by Previx, which ended up blowing away our dontdisplaylastusername group policy (don’t ask me how it superceded it…still can’t figure it out), which we had to reset on each machine. After hacking it and trying all sorts of fixes, we decided to reimage the machines. Which, still leaves the issue unresolved. Out of 20 computers, only 6 of them did not have a black screen after being reimaged, all with the exact same hardware, image, etc. Has anyone found a fix to the black screen? Thank you.
