Can someone in this group help?
Prior to installing my new video card, when I started up the pc, my desktop
appeard without any problems. Since I have installed the new card, before
the desktop, I get the screen that asks me to select the user to continue,
and after selecting me, my desktop appears.
I am the only user on the system (although, in documents and settings, it
shows "administrator, default user and me) I just want skip that screen and
get back to my desktop once the system has loaded.
Thanks

Hi sharky

I can't remember exactly, but goto --> Control Panel --> Users
there should be a choice called change the way users logon... Have a look in
there.
This option is only available on stand-alone Xp systems. I.e. not joined to
a domain.

Hope this helps
 
Nevertheless, the procedure Nepatsfan is correct. A blank password is still
a password.
 
that did it... thanks

Go to Start -> Run and enter the following in the Open box:
control userpasswords2
Click OK
On the Users page, uncheck "Users must enter a user name and
password to use this computer".
Click OK
In the box that pops up enter your user name and password
and
click OK.
