Installed new Video Card and startup has changed
Can someone in this group help?
Prior to installing my new video card, when I started up the pc, my desktop appeard without any problems. Since I have installed the new card, before the desktop, I get the screen that asks me to select the user to continue, and after selecting me, my desktop appears. I am the only user on the system (although, in documents and settings, it shows "administrator, default user and me) I just want skip that screen and get back to my desktop once the system has loaded. Thanks sharkman -- .. |
