This has been a problem since owning XP Home edition 32 bit and only after they have updated the OS to a certain point, then this starts happening and it has happened every time I have reinstalled the OS.
This is what it looks like when the boots up the first time…
Then it flashes blank, then flashes again and I get this. It stays like this until I log onto the internet.
