when i startup my computer, the display settles on a screen showing my
documents, instead of showing me the desktop i usually have which is the
green windows xp background with desktop icons on top. this has been
happening since i installed the windows xp service pack 2 a couple of days
ago. i have since unistalled this incase this was causing the problem, but i
still have it. also when the computer is booting up, i white segmented line
goes across the screen for a few seconds and the windows welcome screen has
also altered in colour. any help would be great.
