start up problems

[Guest]

Hi, I need some help working out why an old wallpaper appears on start up
between compaq and welcome screens . Tried everything i can think of please
any help would be greatly appriecated. Also why does the display flicker
between dark and gray a number of times on boot up and takes long time to
complete boot up . Sorry to ask but i know little about computers . thanks
for your help. Tony.

It appears because that is the last wallpaper you used. So if you changed
your wall paper from what it is now to another one, the wallpaper you have
now would be breifly displayed. I don't know why it does this. My sugestion
would be to set the wallpaper to none. Reboot, then select the wallpaper you
want and see if that does the trick.

My screen flickers alot too; most do. I believe it is something to do with
adjusting resolutions.

Either rename the bmp and/or check here under Wallpaper: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
