    I have an employee that his company laptop crashed with a BSOD. It came back up to the desktop to the active desktop recovery screen. So now every single time it boots it comes to this.

    How do I correct this problem?

    Strange.

    Anyway - on the old pre XP machines you always had a button to click.

    If it isn't here - try changing the background to something compeltely differen, saving and then shutting down.

    Or have you done that?
