My system used to boot directly to the graphic interface(for logging in),now stops at the point where I must type in "Login" and "password" then "starx" to get to KDE.Is there anyway to boot directly to it(graphical login screen)? and why would it have changed?

I'm not sure how it changed, but somehow you might have tweaked the default run-level. Open up /etc/inittab in an editor and look for this line:
id:3:initdefault:
The number in the middle just tells you what run-level to use. I can't remember what distro you are using, but if you want graphical login, change that number in the middle to a 5. Read the beggining of that file though, it should give you a little table describing the run-levels.
If your /etc/inittab is already set to boot into graphical mode (aka X11, "graphical multi-user or whatever), and it does not, you might have another problem. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've seen so far, this runlevel will just bring up a display manager (kdm, gdm, xdm) which will then handle the login procedures.
