No Picture On Start Menu?

In user accounts, I can select a picture, but no picture
really appears. It acts like it is changing, but no
picture shows up on the start menu when you click on
start. It just shows my name at top and no picture? I am
admin and only one with account on pc. Thoughts?

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.

Have you changed Themes? Some Themes I think don't display the pic.

Not sure though...
