Installation problems.

Gentlemen;

I am a long time Windows XP user, I heard about "Zorin" after my XP went EOL. I didn't want to change to Windows 7 and I despise windows 8.1 unless your computer is a touchscreen, it is very awkward to navigate. What I liked about Zorin is the XP type interface. But I have run into a problem. I have installed Zorin 8 on my computer HDD twice. I have followed the installation instructions to the letter and the problem is that once I FINALLY make it to the login screen, I put in my user and password information...and the computer is just dormant after that? I have an older computer, it is an Athlon 2.2 ghz processor and 4 gigs RAM. The computer us wirelessly connected to the internet( when I am on XP). What am I doing wrong?

Respectfully

Bob

Hi Bob,

at the login screen, press the arrow keys and your normal user name should appear, click on it and then it should move to above the login window, then enter your password. :D
