Windows 7 tips. Tips & tricks for Windows 7

There seems to be some problems with Asus motherboards and Windows 7, apparently a black screen appears when using two or more screens after installation of Windows 7. Fortunately we know how to fix this, read more to find out how.

Repeat the installation but keep TV or any other extra screens disconnected from your computer, during the installation.

If you do not want to reinstall, you can try this solution.

When the black screen occurs, hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and see if your desktop reappears. If not, try to restart in safe mode by pressing F8 just before Windows 7 starts up. When you are at your desktop in Safe mode, open notepad and copy the following lines.

displayswitch /extend
displayswitch /internal

Now save the file as a .bat file, example: display.bat

Save the file in the Windows 7 startup folder, the path is shown below.

C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup Where C is your Windows 7 drive letter.

Reboot and hopefully Windows 7 will run normally.

There have also been reports of USB devices causing troubles, if the above solutions do not work try to pull out all USB devices except mouse / keyboard and then restart.
