hahaha... just kidding (although I really recommend you that)


It sounds like you have -accidentally or not- changed the type of log-on protocol you use.

It might have gone from this:

to this:

hasn't it?


I'm going to try to help you, but I use Windows in Spanish and don't know the English translations for all terms, try to guess what I mean if something is understandable

Go to Control Panel, and click User Accounts. Then click on "Change the way/manner/? that users log on or off"... There should be various options there, I think you should check the "Use the main Welcome screen for fast and easy logon" box...

That's very like the HP 10" I have for travelling. It's a neat little unit and much more sturdy and useful than an ipad. When I was working in Vietnam earlier this year, my boss brought her ipad and then couldn't use it because the hotel only had wired internet and you have to have an adapter to enable that for ipad. It's that kind of silly omission from the build that puts me off tablets.

Just one tip re Windows 7 Starter: you can't change the desktop wallpaper without downloading a little widget. Drove me nuts til I worked it out. Let me know if you need pointing in the right direction.
