Getting straight to desktop?

[Valak]

Is there way to skip the startup section when you turn on the computer and makes it automatically go to the desktop? Cus Im having a problem getting past the start up page.

What do you mean by "startup page"? You mean the login dialog? and what problems are you having?

 

[Valak]

Its messing up and wont let me get past the start up page, like it will turn on and a screen will come up with a '?' and the macs logo on a file.

Heres the link to the other thread with pics of the screen too. And it will just stay on that screen forever.

Seems like the install went wrong. Put the first install disc in again and boot from this disc to reinstall OS X.

How can I go about doing that?
And which disk do I use? The restores or the Mac OS X disk?

Use the install disk that came with the computer. Stick it in the drive and restart...hold down the C button and go from there...Disk Utility

Always good to nip the problem in the butt instead of looking away🙂
