Waited an hour after startup and still had that same bluescreen. Is that the gnome desktop screen? So no it doesn't eventually work. An hour is eventually right? :-) yum update installed 23 packages successfully. Should I re-instal again? It will be the 3rd time.

What's your goal here - is it to have a working desktop environment? If so, and you have not done so yet, there's an option for desktop; I'd install that, though you can always choose that, then check "customize now", and add or subtract things.
Goal is to use Centos 6.4 with gnome as my OS and not win 7. Yes, I'd like a working desktop environment with FF and TB and other programs,

Just a thought. Would it help if I did yum install KDE, and thenyum remove gnome? Reason is that I see on the different fora some pro/cons with Gnome and KDE. Since Gnome won't let me back in is it worth a try? Bob
I'd leave gnome - there's a few programs it provides I like, like gwenview, which I think is gnome, and we won't mention freecell or mines...
However... thinking about this, now that I've got a chance to catch my breath here at work... a couple of years ago, I think it was, I updated a fedora box here at work to 13? 14? and gnome was hosed, as in the gui would come up, but instead of a window with a login, all I had was about a pencil point width by about six inch high - the hight of the login box, and I never was able to get it to actually give me the login. I wound up having to pull out gnome, because I couldn't find a way to force a KDE login.
Anyone know what the current replacement is for switchdesk?
In the meantime, here's another thought: you could try to yum groupremove and groupinstall Desktop, which I think is gnome, to see if there's some configuration files that are mangled.
The one time you did log in - did you change any settings?
