A strange thing has happened on my PC in the last 2-3 days which I cannot get rid of so would appreciate any help/advice

I am the sole user of the PC and do not have a lo gin id to access it

Normally when I boot up - it goes straight to my desktop with all the various icons etc

Suddenly - I now get a blue screen with a line down the middle

Left of the line is the Microsoft XP logo plus "To begin, click your user name"

To the right of the line is a white square with what looks like a green frog in it and to the side of the square it says "User"

I now have to click the frog to get to my desktop

Microsoft have installed a number of updates recently - is this the result of one of them?

How do I get rid of it?

I have windows XP professional and i have had two screens on the P.c for as long as i can remember just like yours but it never bothers me,You don't need to do all you are doing that's a long way round
I just click on the the whatever it called on the chess board.On seeing your post I decided to have a look at mine

users Click Control Panel

As well as my own i had the switched off guest account and about 3 three others.I just deleted the others :)I noticed my computer now shuts down a lot quicker.

Hi All
sorry for the late reply,after doing all the recommended suggestions.All I could see was small plastic digital timers,that for some reason i wasn't looking for.I was thinking bigger but as i haven't been well for a few weeks now i think I was a bit dozy at the time .
On seeing the timers I went out the next day and got one from the 1 pound shop on the kitchen stuff shelf.It is just what i wanted its great it has its own stand so i have it by the computer you can even clip it onto your clothing.Set it by minutes or seconds like the microwave timer.It did give me a fright though when i tested it  i was reading something of interest on the P.C and forgot about the timer   I was expecting a beep when it went off instead i got a phone ring that nearly gave me a heart attack

I have seen that uniform before somewhere on the telly maybe Do you know the approximate year of the photo?

Hi,
i don't suppose a public grave would have a head stone would it?

you suppose right silv
Public/Paupers graves can have other Paupers buried in the same grave that are no relation at all.If a person was a pauper they could not pay for grave or burial.So the council did, as far as i am aware the graves belong to the council.
In our cemetery there is a big hill/mound where there shouldn't be.
I was once told that the piece of land was were paupers were buried.They ran out of space for burials so more soil was put on top when the land settled they could bury more paupers.That piece of land has not a single headston. Maybe the bit of land that you saw that drops down is actually a hill.Or it is the degrading remains that have broken down and the land has collapsed.That's the best sensitive way I can think of putting it 

The reason I ask is I forget I have put something in the oven
It seems you cant buy timers anymore,and  I cant hear the oven timer from the room next door.So that's why I am asking
