I have seen this problem occur in all versions of Windows including 98 & ME & am wondering if anyone has a fix for it

On startup, after the clouds where it says Starting Windows 9.x, it displays a bitmap for a few seconds while it continues to load. This appears to be the last wallpaper that was used, not the current one. The system proceeds through enumeration where it shuts off the graphics capability of the video card for a second to enumerate it (where you get the DOS text back briefly). Then it goes to the desktop & everything is fine

This has even happened on my own system before

Any ideas?
