black screen with cursor only

[Aiizawa]

After coming in from the outside my computer was not displaying anything and was unresponsive so I turned it off and on. I got no display at all. I removed the graphics card and plugged the monitor into the motherboard. Now I get a boot up screen with the motherboard splash art and ability to enter the bios. I start up windows normally, safe mode, and. All the other modes to run windows at all of them bring me to a black screen with a cursor in the middle. I am unable to produce anything from this screen but move the mouse around. I got my windows 7 installation disk out and tried to run a repair with no luck. I tried to system restore but claims there are no restores it can find. So I'm stuck here unable to load into any windows function and it looks like all the windows tools are not working properly. Anyone know a fix to this? Thank you and all help is appreciated.

How to fix computer (windows 7) that goes into an unresponsive black screen after start-up (with moving cursor)?

okay, i just had that problem as well. nothing works other than the cursor/pointer/mouse on a blank black screen. i did everything posted online to fix the problem (the f8, safe mode thingy and everything). nothing worked though so i tried experimenting and clicking stuffs on the keyboard. the miraculous thing happened. after clicking and doing almost nothing to the computer, something worked. it totally did work in my case so i hoped it works with yours as well. it's not the expert/computer geek solution but it solved my problem anyway so here it is...

1) press shift several times until the sticky keys window appears
2) click the link that'll lead to ease of access center
3) click cancel on the the bottom right corner of the set up sticky keys window
4) click control panel on the upper left corner (beside the make your computer easier to use title)
5) on the computer settings menu choose the recovery icon (make sure that the view is by either large or small icons for easier access)
6) click open system restore
7) click next on the bottom right corner until the button finish appears, then click it. (just follow everything the window says that will lead you to recovering your previous system in a certain time)
8) let it do its job and wait until your computer restarts

For me there is no control panel button to click on in the upper left hand corner. I get the sticky keys box to appear, hit windows + u and the ease of access box appears but when I hit cancel the ease of access box disappears and all that's left is the sticky key box. What should I do?

I have the same problem. Please help!

After searching a lot of web pages and staying up all night and just short of reloading windows, I found this web site that fixed my issue with the " Black Screen - Cursor" crisis. Having deleted the Taplika virus in programs, I still was having the same issue. I needed to delete the entry in the registry under HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Run\Taplika & under -
HEKY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Taplika.exe
Here is the URL to that site - http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/Share/RegEdit.htm

Turns out that I was getting the black screen because my computer thought a projector was attached. All I did was open the option to choose output (a shortcut key on laptop) looks like some type of box. It is the f4 button. A menu popped up, I chose duplicate screen on my external monitor and it was fixed.

I get no link to Ease of Access if I press shift many times. I only get the message about turning off or on sticky keys. Yes and No are the only options.

If I press Windows Key and U, the ease of access shows up saying if I want to turn on "High Contrast" "Sticky Keys" etc. IfI press Cancel, it closes the window and does nothing. Help

I had a same problem, what i did is take out the hard-drive and connect as a external hard-drive to my second computer and scan it after that it was working fine and install back to my laptop and window boot straightway.
usually scan option will popup when you connect the hard-drive with laptop using external encloser
