When I upgraded WinXP Pro with SP2 mycomputer now reboots with the XP home logo displayed rather than Windows XP Professional. How can I get the correct bootup screen? It didn't change my software, It's still running XP Pro, just ICON is wrong.

It is still Windows XP SP2 and it is normal.

That's odd. I didn't think the new kernel displayed either the home or pro overlays...

It doesn't display either, also no more "years" either.

Either you changed the ntoskrnl.exe yourself (accidentally?)

--OR--

This looks like a case of having installed from a "modified" XP home CD, that used an XP Pro's setupreg.hiv - and when you installed the newer Service Pack, that messy patching got messed-up itself.

I'd say don't do upgrade installs (of SPs) - slip-stream them into your CD and do a clean-install, that way it is totally clean without the problems mentioned above.
