    no.... okay i see the loading screen. then the orb, the my backround. the normal green vista "welcome" screen i used to see is gone. i only used to see the screen for maybe 1second anyway but i found it wierd its gone now. i am running at 4.4ghz so my startup is ridiculously fast anyway maybe its just fast enough it skips it? i used to see it though. everything seems normal though?

    i uninstalled some programs i didnt need anymore so maybe i just sped up startup enough i dont see it now.. imo its wierd though i see the orb and then i can count to maybe 3 when the orb comes on and my desktop backround is up.

    i never had a login screen i am the only user and there is only my account and i never had a login screen
