The new animated boot screen in Windows 7 is appealing as compared to green progress bar Windows Vista. However thing goes pretty erratic sometimes with regard to this boot screen. Sometimes it doesn't show animated items/balls come together to form Windows logo but instead it shows the old green progress bar (the old Vista styled boot screen). While I don't care much about this trivial thing, I believe, they are quite a lot of people that are upset with this issue.

It happens when a user tries to repair the boot loader or adds a new entry for Windows 7.

If you want to get rid of this problem, here is simple solution:

1. Click on Start button > All Programs > Accessories. Now right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run As Administrator". Alternatively you can also open Command Prompt by typing "cmd" in Start Menu Search box and press "Ctrl+Shift+Enter".

2. Type in the following code:

bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US

The above command is for English version of Windows, so if your Windows is using other languages, then change "en-US" accordingly.

3. You are almost done. Exit Command Prompt and restart your system. Now you should be able to see the new animated Windows 7 boot screen in action again.
