    This is more of a cosmetic question than a "I seriously need help" one. Nevertheless, I appreciate any insight your may be able to offer about the nature of this issue.
    When Win 7 is first booting one ordinarily sees the 4-color animated "flower ". However, recently the gui animation during this same part of the bootup sequence has changed from the high resolution animated flower to the old "xp" style throwback with the crawling segment ... precisely like the one you see for just an instant when using a rescue repair disk or when trying to restore a previously made image.
    What would cause the change? I tried opening msconfig and checking the "no gui" box under the Boot tab and there was nothing as expected, but when I uncheck the box it reverts to the crawling segment.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi mmullen2, Welcome to WindowsBBS. :)
    I recollect something like that appearing on my W7 HDD a while back. It was after Updates were installed.
    Are you up to date with MS Updates?
    Any recent Update prior to this change?
    I don't recollect mine staying like that for long. Neil.

    Yes, 21 updates were applied 2 days ago. I will roll back prior to the updates and recheck. More to come.

    As fate would have it, the issue has vanished. Many thanks. I will close the thread.
