Windows XP starts up in "classic" mode....without the curved edges.

martyt1981 · 05-Oct-2010, 10:50 PM #1

I installed a wireless internet thingy on my computer to obtain internet when living with roommates. Ever since then, everytime I start up, I end up having to restart over and over again, until the log in screen that pops up has the curved edges. I have recently removed the hardware (wireless card/thingy) and now I am unable to get the computer to start up with the "curved edges" even after restarting OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I am up to my neck in anger....I need some help!!! Anyone know what may cause this!?!?!...and how I can fix it???

Thanks for any help!

Couple of places you can look.

Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on and off > Check the "Use Welcome Screen" box

Display Properties, make sure that Windows XP is selected as your theme.
