Hi. Thanks to Clint and Ed for trying to help me with this problem. (Clint, thanks for telling me that I should not erase a message from someone elsetype mine in and sent it to the group. Now I know that I must pull down a new sheet to ask for help.)
With your input I finally figured it out. Now I have my solid blue welcome screen and don't have to click on anything to get passed it! For anyone else who may have this problem, this is what I did: START/CONTROL PANEL/USER ACCOUNTS/.....AT THE BOTTOM OF THE USER ACCOUNT PAGE ARE ICONS OF ALL YOUR USERS. AS I AM THE ONLY USER OF MINE, I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY GUEST USERS, BUT I DID!! THE ICON OF THAT STRANGE NEW GUEST WAS THE SAME ICON OF SOMETHING I DOWNLOADED THE OTHER DAY AND HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT. I CERTAINLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT PUT A NEW USER IN MY USER ACCOUNT. I REALLY HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT IT IS. ANYWAY, I DELETED THAT ICON AND REBOOTED MY COMPUTER, AND VOILA.......NO MORE SPLIT BLUE SCREEN. ANN Below is my original email to the group: Hi, I have a new problem today. I use Windows XP and Outlook Express and am on cable. Before today, when I boot up each morning, it would go through the XP sign, the blue WELCOME sign and end up with my desktop showing. Today, instead of the full blue screen with welcome on it, I get a split screen with welcome on one side and a box that says OWNER on the other side. I have to click on owner before I can get to my desktop. I am used to going straight to my desktop after I first turn on my computer. What have I done?
