Hi all,
Still working on this issues, I have a lot of (confusing) test results,
will not post it all here.
I will definitely post the outcome of the investigation.
For now a question. For me it seems atm that about half of the machines
I install now simply give this strange behavior.
I would like to ask ppl who have a Windows 7 installation if they
recognize this, maybe someone even has a recent Windows 7 installation?
I know Francois has seen this before on Vista, only on Vista. Francois,
do you have any Win7 machines you could test on?
I can supply source + exe and instructions of needed but I'd rather not
dump right into the mailinglist.
Thanks all!
Merijn

I just made a nice discovery. I found out that I had another machine
(same model, but mini tower) sitting here somewhere. I checked, and
the problem does not show there.
So I took the hard drive from the not working one and put it in the
working one and it booted nicely (since hardware is identical). The
problem moved too!
So I have a hard drive, which contains a super fresh copy of Windows
7 which does not work, and another hard drive with an older Windows 7
installation which does work.
This confirm what I said before: the problem comes from a software
installed on the not working computer, not from the hardware. It is
likely a difference in some driver.
Any tips or question what to compare or test?
First do an image of the working installation so that you can come
back later to it after testing !
Then on the working machine do a windows update, and an update of
evreything you can think off and check if it becomes a not working
installation. If it does, then you have to find out exactly which
update break the operation.
MsInfo32 could be an help to comprae both computers. The "running
tasks" list gives the version number of each module. You can see if
they are the same or not.
