Hello 
When I first got my Toshiba Satellite laptop with WinXP in September of
2002, Just like my old Win95, when I tured it on, it would boot fully by
itself without any prompting and when I selected start/shutdown, a box would
appear with three buttons labled something like Shutdown, Restart and Exit
Windows. Then I installed a game that was created by a good friend of mine
and some classmates as part of a computer science class project. Since then,
when I select start/shutdown, I get the box seen here in this screenshot with
a pulldown menu offering Shutdown, Restart and Exit Windows instead of
buttons.

That's not a problem because either way, I have to select something for it
to continue anyway, but on starting up, I also get a similar box against a
sky blue background and it waits for me to make a selection before
continuing. My friend has no idea why the game would have done that or why
it continued to be that way even after uninstalling the game. I like to be
able to start my laptop and when I come back to it, it's fully started. How
do I get it back to doing that? If it helps, I have Service Pack 2. Thanx
in advance!
Take care! Hope to hear from you soon! Wuff!
