Windows logon dialog

[Guest Tore.B.B.]

Hi!

 

I have this old PII machine running Win98SE. After changing to a newer LCD

display with 1280*1024 reolution, and setting the resolution in Windows to

the same all works OK. Except that the logon dialog still appear in the old

1024*768. I have tried to search around to fin a solution, but no luck. Maybe

someone her can help me?

 

Kind regards

Hello Tore,

You could try running the monitor software from the run services key, which

will load it before logon. You will have to identify the entry in the

registry (or other place) which loads the app. and reproduce the command

under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices.

HTH,

ern.

Not sure, but I suppose it could be a missing LoadPowerProfile at fault.

You should have TWO...

 

(1) "START button, Run, RegEdit".

(2) Open to...

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"

by...

 

(a) Click plus signs, beginning left of "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE".

& ending left of "CurrentVersion".

 

(b) Scroll the alphabetical list of keys under it in the left pane,

& click "Run" in the left pane.

 

© Look for "LoadPowerProfile" in the right pane.

If not there... R-Clk an empty area of the right pane, point

to "New", & select "String value". Paste "LoadPowerProfile"

(without the quotes) for it's name.

 

(d) R-Clk "LoadPowerProfile" in the right pane,

& select "Modify".

 

(e) Paste the following (w/o the quotes) into the "Value data" box...

"Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme"

 

Do the same for

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunService

s"

^----- That "s" has wrapped away from "RunServices".

 

Actually, after step (f), look for & click "RunServices" in the left

pane, & take it from there.

 

Also you may click the minus keys-- "RunServices-" & "Run-"-- & delete

any "LoadPowerProfile" in the right pane.

 

Maybe just to look this over, do a dry run, & get back with

questions.

 

CAREFUL in the Registry. Delete nothing but "LoadPowerProfiles" in the

minus (-) keys.
