Yes, that must be what I meant, or would have meant had I known

Hmmm...well, I can't say as I disagree. If the monitor I use at work couldXS11E said:
be turned 90°, I'd probably do that. On the other hand, I keep the screen
at a high resolution, and can have all of, or at least most of, a given
document visible at once. Plus, having part of the desktop visible, means
that links on the edges of the screen can be used, without having to clear
the screen first. Keep rockin'.

Just FYI.
Windows 7, 32-bit. INstalled from scratch. Machine is very powerful, video
is great, no problems at all except a few crashes after IE tried to open
some web sites. It looks like it is very stable in Win7 now. Same sites
in XP were ok.
Just got my "black screen after login". The desktop was not loaded, but the
graphics mode was ok, I could easily start the Task Manager and some of the
aplications that I I wanted using the TM, some of them were using DirectX
with no problem at all. Restart in safe mode was ok, the desktop was
visible. Restart back to the usual mode - same "black after login" effect,
the black screen with alive mouse, etc. Started the Task Manager and found
Explorer.exe, killed and restarted it. It didn't help. Same, I can start a
new process, even a GUI one just browsing and starting a required file. Very
interesting. The system was correctly down last night, no problems at all.
It looks like the start script was damaged somehow. Tried to restore the
system using its internal methods. It said 0x80070057 and recommended to
restart recovering process. Tried couple times, sent the built-in backup and
recover system to hell, used Acronis system drive backup copy to restore the
entire partition and returned back in 30 minutes with the whole huge disk
with no issues. Also decided to disable auto updates, just in case... They
already killed my XP machine at least couple times, and what was so
interesting - both time in Decembers of diferent years.
