He put a film on my comp last night and made a joke about he'd made the comp boot up differently, except he actually has (why?!?) I don't think he's gone into the bios cos the comp was already on when he started messing with it. You know the startup screen where it has the vista green moving bar? well that has gone now and it says 'starting windows vista' in a crappy white font with the image of the vista boot background (the bluey green pic) any ideas what he's done? I would phone the moron but he's probably still in bed:mad:

Phone just to wake him up.
Does it operate normally when loaded fully?0 -
I figured it out. He ticked 'no gui boot' in msconfig for some stupid reason- i prefer the green bar to the rubbish white text.Fr. Stack: While you were out, I got the keys to your car. And drove it into a big wall. And if you don't like it, tough. I've had my fun, and that's all that matters.0

hehe, ta, but we posted at the same time. I found out he'd played with msconfig boot menu by process of elimination!Fr. Stack: While you were out, I got the keys to your car. And drove it into a big wall. And if you don't like it, tough. I've had my fun, and that's all that matters.0
