Windows 7 users struck by malfunctions
Technology.am (Dec. 03, 2009) — Microsoft’s Windows 7, the most recent operating system filled with numerous latest features and which is selling like hotcakes, is at the moment making millions of users worldwide irritated with an exclusive difficulty called ‘black screen of death’.
The error appears to take place following logging on to the affected systems, rendering the computer unresponsive, the software giant has accepted.
The black screen of death is a play on the ‘blue screen of death’ colloquialism used for the error screen that has weighed down Windows users over the years, The Daily Mail reported.
The company said it was investigating a disabling malfunction that seems to predominantly affect its newest operating system. However, it left without reports that it’s most recent monthly security update has caused the grave system problems.
“We have conducted a wide-ranging assessment of the November Security Updates, the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, and the non-security updates we released through Windows Update in November,” Microsoft said in a blog posting.
“That inquiry has shown that not any of these updates make any changes to the permissions in the registry. Thus, we don’t consider the updates are associated to the ‘black screen’ behaviour described in these reports.”
Software firm Prevx had previously suggested that the blank screen problem was caused by Microsoft’s most recent security patch. However, it retracted from its claim afterwards.
