26) Display Settings Pop-up: (Image 3.2)Windows XP no longer likes the "default" resolution of 640 x 480 and prompts you of that fact. Select OK to continue. |

28) The Welcome Screen: (Image 3.4)The "Welcome Screen" will now appear while Windows XP Home continues to load in the background. |
29) Display Settings Pop-up: (Image 3.5)Since the initial screen resolution is set to 640 x 480, a balloon dialog appears. You may click the pop-up balloon to raise the resolution up to 800 x 600 automatically. For the rest of this guide, I chose to ignore it. |
