Picture that flashes

[JB]

I truly need to know how I can eliminate a picture that flashes 2 seconds before windows load in my computer.  The picture is part of the computer and is not a virus.  The OS is Window Vista.  Is there a command?

Try both steps below to remove the image.

1st, select an image that you want as your desktop background. You will use it for both steps below

2nd, set the image you selected as the desktop background image using the method in the video tutorial below

It is not a desktop background image.  That would be simple to resolve.  However, it is a picture that flashes two seconds BEFORE Windows loads its software.  If Windows loads after, that means the desktop background image would not be shown before.  I was wondering if it is some real code image.

You may also check the startup files. There may be other software that do so.
