Hi Murphy
Are you using the Windows 2000 style classic logon

screen? The pictures will
only appear on the start menu when using the new XP

welcome screen.

Hi,

In short, the new windows xp visual style is the one with the good looking buttons etc. To recheck,
open up the display properties and flip to the appearance tab and see that 'Windows XP style' is
selected under 'windows and buttons'.

The new start menu is the one which has two columns and is more bulky. And again to check that,
right click on the start button and select properties. Make sure that 'Start Menu' (the first
option) is selected.
