Windows XP 64 logo on Startup Screen
in [64 Bits Windows]

From: Carlos on 18 Jan 2010 05:26 Bob, So it was a wallpaper issue indeed. I always choose wallpaper resolutions that match exactly my monitor, in my case it is 1680x1050. If I can't get that exact resolution I resize it with the freeware PAINT.NET and only then use it as a wallpaper.

It looks out of focus because the graphic is stretched to a size larger than its native size. D

I can probably resize it with Photoshop Elements. Not sure how to get hold of the file to do this. Maybe this evening. I have several other issues with the computer and its setup. Mainly boot issues. When I set the boot order using F6 it is fine but if I boot with a USB flash drive in a USB socket the computer tries to boot from the USB Flash Drive and of course does nothing. I remove the USB Flash Drive and reboot and all is well. Thanks for the assistance Bob AZ

Bob, You need to set the boot order permanently in BIOS, without the need of pressing F6 or whatever key your motherboard requires. Grab a cup of coffee (or a glass beer if you prefer) and carefully read the motherboard manual, BIOS setup section. Set the boot order to suit your needs, usually 1st device: CD/DVD 2nd device: Hard Disk Carlos "Bob AZ" wrote: > On Jan 18, 3:26�am, Carlos <Car...(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > Bob, > > So it was a wallpaper issue indeed. > > I always choose wallpaper resolutions that match exactly my monitor, in my > > case it is 1680x1050. > > If I can't get that exact resolution I resize it with the freeware PAINT.NET > > and only then use it as a wallpaper. > > Carlos > > Carlos > > Good point and thing to do.
