Hi there. I have Windows 7 on two of my computers. They are exactly the same computers. However one has a different loading screen then the other one. One looks like this . And one looks like this .

I think this is very serious.

Thanks !

The screen on the left is still present in Windows 7 if you have to use the Startup Repair or options in the "Repair My Computer" menu, if the machine doesn't boot.
Does the machine on the left boot?

One thing I've noticed with the loading screens is the type of connector you use on the monitor. When you use VGA style connector not DVI it shows the "classic" version. Where as the DVI connector shows the newer screen.

That's my experience on it.

Hmm, both the computer are the except same with all the same cables and chips.

Run the following command in elevated command prompt with administrator rights:

bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US

Change the en-US to the language version of the installed Windows 7, such as ja-JP, de-DE, es-ES, pt-BR, zh-CN, zh-TW, fr-FR, fi-FI and etc.

Restart the computer after running the command to see the if the new boot UI is running.
To check if the locale setting has been entered properly, just run the bcdedit command in command prompt that runs as administrator.

Is this a dual boot system with Vista on one partition ? Or did you install 7 over Vista

[Pawanhammers]

This is a stupid question, but what would the language code be for UK?

Also I installed Windows 7 over Windows XP.

Most likely English as in en

[Pawanhammers]

I think I entered it correctly. But it didn't work.

[Essexboy]

I have been reading that if you install over Vista there is a possibility that it gets confused and does not know where to load the boot screen from so it goes for the old Vista one. Although bcdedit should have cured that, but it is a known problem at MS - no fix yet

[Pawanhammers]

If it should've fixed it I might of done something wrong.
I live in the UK.
so it should be like this.
bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-GB
also what do you mean by elevated command prompt?
By the way I installed Windows 7 over XP.

[Essexboy]

no it en-us for some reason. I am in the UK as well

By elevated I mean right click the Command Prompt and select run as Administrator


This is my bcdedit for a dual boot Vista/7
