From: mikeyhsd on 18 Oct 2009 19:22 did you by chance notice if all your devices properly propagated when booting. sometimes a hard drive fails to spin up in time. mikeyhsd(a)lamparty.net "VE2" <ve2(a)comportent.com> wrote in message news:et8%23m4BUKHA.4704(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... Hello I have Win 7 x64 RTM which has been running well for some weeks now, including yesterday. Today, upon startup I could not run anything - all I got was the busy cursor. I could ctrl-alt-del to the task manager but again the busy cursor would not let me do anything. Switching off and restarting several times did not help. I ended up booting from my system repair disk and doing a full image restore from my backup. Any ideas on what went wrong or something else I could have done?

From: VE2 on 19 Oct 2009 18:51 Good to know! The system repair disk had a restore point option but in my case the restore failed.

From: VE2 on 19 Oct 2009 18:57 Everything seemed normal. The PC is multibooted with Windows XP and it worked fine so I don't suspect hardware. What I do suspect now however was the last program I installed and was running before shutdown - picophone, a 32bit voip app. Perhaps because it deals with IP addresses and port numbers (maybe some assembly language?) it is not 64bit compatible.
