Logging on and Welcome Screen.

[Kipper]

Until yesterday on booting my computer a blue screen appeared briefly saying
'Welcome',nothing else,no icons,nothing.I am now getting a 'Welcome' to the
left of the blue screen with an Administrators icon on the right that has to
be clicked and name and password have to be entered in order to
proceed.There is also now a 'Guest' icon Loading Windows now takes much
longer and I would like to get back to the way it was.I have no idea why or
what has happened.Can anyone help me please?

Visit the Windows Update web site and download all the
recommended updates, especially the one for .NET Framework.
Afterward, reboot your computer.

Sounds like safe mode to me, can you log in ?

This problem is easy to correct
Just make sure you log in with an administrator account.
Then click start, control panel and user accounts.
you must delete any other account apart from yours. This will make
windows think
that the same person logs on evertime so there is no need to click
his/her user name at the welcome
screen. also you have to turn off any guest account.

Thanks,everyone.The problem has been solved except I no longer get any
'Welcome' at all.Windows loads immediately.
