Miscellaneous generalist and specialist sites including sites like the BBC are reporting a problem that apparently could afflict millions of users of Windows 7 and was affectionately named the Black Screen of Death . In practice, when Windows 7 is completely black screen after login: no desktop, taskbar or sidebar, but (at best) only an Explorer window. This makes it understandably difficult to work. The problem also affects Windows Vista, XP, NT, and 2000.
The software company Prevx has prepared a temporary and partial remedy. The cause seems to be one of the recent updates Windows, that of November 25, which has changed the management of the Registry. Microsoft are looking in the archives of information for XP, but seem to involve another problem that produces a black screen. According InformationWeek, Microsoft for now only to say that "is investigating the reports" and that investigation is complete provide "detailed instructions on how to prevent or manage these issues" .
I will keep you updated on any developments and if you have info on post them in comments.
Especially a recommendation: do not trust unknown Web sites that offer remedies for this problem. Pests and cyber criminals are already taking advantage of the news. Avoid
also for a few days to perform downloading and installing updates, at least until you have a better idea about it and / or will not be released an update to update (pardon the pun, but this thing makes me smile. ..) that could plug the leak.
