I recently had an episode of non-starting problem with Win 7. In the midst of trying to figure out the problem I found myself not knowing how to show the list of files being loaded (disable windows logo) in a "normal" start mode. In other words I want to see the same display as the safe mode does but starts up normally. There is a list of options after I hit F8 but the description is too cryptic for me to figure out which one to use. Please help. Thanks!

Try the Enable Boot Logging option from the menu obtained by pressing F8. The file is ntbtlog.txt and it is written to the C:\Windows directory.
