MS Vista patches broke my Desktop on my HP PC

Last week (24/06/2009) my HP Pavillion slimline running Vista loaded 2 MS Windows patches. After restarting, the Vista interface would not appear, just the white mouse cursor on a black screen, instead of the desktop UI. The boot process worked fine until teh desktop is supposed to appear. I haven't made a system recovery disk, and safe mode start up ends results in the same issue. Anyone know how I can roll back the patches and hopefullly resolve this issue?

    Thanks Hurshmohan, but I'm not getting the 'last good settings' option. As a shutdown could not be initiated after this problem occurred, Vista automatically starts witht eh Widows Recovery DOS screen, which gives me a choice of Safe Modes start up, but no 'last known good settings' option.

My Hp Pavillion a1730n with Vista loaded take about 1/2 half to boot up. What can I do to solve this?

I would run a registry utility to remove the broken links and then run antivirus just in case.

How to restart hp pavillion 7965 desktop

Hi there. Try these steps:

1. On restart, press F8. This should bring you to a screen with various boot options.

2. Select "Last known good configuration". Windows then may load correctly.

3. If this doesn;t work, try the same thing. This time select "boot in Safe Mode". If Windows now loads in Safe Mode you should be able to restart and Windows may load correctly after this.

4. If these two both fail, you may have to repair Windows...
