Fished around & tested but wandering if anyone else has noticed this.The Bliss.jpg which normally is the default paper in xp does not appear only standard blue screen. I have basically Rebuilt my unattended disk using sp2 with NLite using RyanVMs hotfix pack & have not removed themes wallpapers or savers, have not used any regtweaks in this regard or deleted any of these entrys in my main batch file. Could anyone throw some light my way would be appreciated?
