Black screen after shrinking parent VM

Having a strange issue with our view 5.2 environment. We had a parent VM that was created with a hdd of 100gb thin provisioned, a linked clone pool was then created from this VM.

what we have done is used vmware converter and shrink the parent VM to a new VM down to 35gb and then used this new parent VM for the pool. The problem is when logging in to the pool now you see the welcom screen for a split second then the screen goes black but you still hear the windows loading sounds. the VM is windows 7 64bit.

I have tried reinstalling vmware tools and the view agent and recomposing the pool with that but still have the same issue.

i have been through the KB articles on black screen but evrything seems to be correct as the pool was working and does work if we recompose it with the original parent VM.

 

any ideas??
