Windows 7 booting

awepicness

problem 1: I used a program called Windows7BootUpdater to change my bootlogo but after applying and restarting to see the new wonders of booting up my computer, I'm greeted with a black screen until it finishes booting. I've noticed it creates a file in C:/ called bootmgr which cannot be deleted by me. I moved that file to the desktop and replaced it with another one created by Win7BootUpdater, and restarted my computer. It still showed the black screen and when I got to the desktop I couldn't delete the original file from the desktop while the replacement one that was created can be deleted. I've tried changing the permissions of the original so I can delete it but I don't have permission to change the permissions :/

 

problem 2: When booting, I would like the screen to default to my main 1080p monitor instead of my secondary monitor, but with my EVGA 750 ti SC, apparently the BIOS defaults to the secondary (smaller) monitor. I've looked in every section in my BIOS to change it to start on my normal monitor but there is no option for that. The 1080p screen is my primary monitor in windows so as soon as the kernel starts it switches. It's not a huge deal but it's just kind of annoying. 

 

If anyone has an idea on how to fix either of these, I'll be very grateful and you'll earn a brownie point  :)

PC gaming is superior to console gaming, but the gamers themselves are neither superior or inferior to one another: they're just people with varying degrees of understanding.

The monitor problem is simple. Just disconnect 2nd screen while booting and the connect it again. After doing it one time it should be ok untill you have disconnect both monitors. And if that doesn't work, its about which connectors GPU sees as first. Usually its Display port -> DVI1 -> DVI2 -> HDMI and you will have to test which is DVI1 and 2.
