Help needed with new Zorin install

Sorry to bother you all with this but I can`t find any help with my new (OS) install. I just did the new upgrade to my Zorin laptop to the new (LTS) and when I reboot it came up with what looks like a log in box on the left side so I typed my password and hit enter. Then it took me to a blank desk top with no start buttons or tray at the bottom. I had to use the power button to get out and shut down. what I would like to know Is there a way with zorin to roll back to the older version like you can in (WIN XP) that I used for years but then switched to zorin as it is such a great system and looks so much like the desktops I like to use. Thanks for any help anyone can give on this.

Hi BIG D

At boot select the 2nd option in your Zorin menu - Advanced options for Zorin and you should see a list that you can boot into

Hi,

further to Stephanies suggestion, run DPKG per the update guide (cable network connection required) and see if that fixes the problem for you.

Do you have an Nvidia graphics card?.

At the login window, make sure you press the arrow keys, left/right/up/down, and make sure you see your normal user name and not just the Guest Login name!.

Let us know if this helps.

In answer to your 'roll-back' question, you cannot readily do this - the best way is to make a complete backup using this cross-platform (and free!) software:
