Windows 7 Blank at welcome screen...bootcamp...2011 Mac Mini

Hi all,


Got a 2011 mac mini with Intel HD 3000 graphics,


I installed Windows 7 with bootcamp without any problems.


Booted up fine, but with low res graphics as standard drivers were installed.


Ran the Windows Support Tools that bootcamp had downloaded, it installed fine, rebooted, there is video output...untill the windows 7 welcome screen sound...then no video output!


I am connected via HDMI to an LED tv.


I can boot via safe mode and it's fine, so obvious a driver issue, I have seen similar problems on here, but a lot of those have been while installing.


Any ideas greatly appreciated

Mac mini, Windows 7

you can start with getting the graphic driver from the vendor, there is trouble with using Intel 3000 and seems like the Mini have more trouble than others - they all have some trouble - and uninstall Apple gpu drivers - with Driver Sweeper 3.2+ (not older) and CCleaner (clean Registry).


You should be using Lion Boot Camp Assistant and BC 4.01+ drivers with any 2011 model (or later) too.
