I am having a problem with windows vista ultimate x86 sp1 i installed a fresh version and my problem is that when i try to restart my pc from the taskbar it shows the first HP screen then goes black and stays there wont load windows... But if i shut it down from the taskbar and then boot it back up it loads windows fine any way to fix this? all my hardware works fine and is compatible with vista.. i have had this problem every time i install vista i tried a fresh reinstall a few times so i know its not the problem its not a big deal but does get annoying when all i want to do is restart after installing a program that requires it and i have to shut down an boot back up everytime.. thanks in advance.
