Logon Diverted

[Guest Patrick Whittle]

Hi,

 

Has anyone seen the XP sign-on page start displaying that of previous

Windows? Instead of having two icons (2-user accounts) on the first screen

after booting, I now have a Windows dialog window where I have to type

(rather than clicking my name) my account name; I then click OK. It looks

like Windows for Workgroups and the older Microsoft Windows.

 

Any idea of what has happened?

In future please choose one appropriate newsgroup and post there.

 

Open the Help and Support Center by pressing F1. In the Search box type:

welcome screen. Read this article: Turn the Welcome screen on or off.

I love to old way of logging in but to fix this problem

 

go to "Control Panel" and run "User Accounts"

 

Under Pick a task click on "Change the way users log on or off" option

in this new screen tick the "Use the Welcome Screen"

 

for other trouble shootings read the above post by JS

By the way, the user interface on my computer has the file GTGina DLL in the

registry. This file makes the user interface locked at "clasic" logon, and

I can no longer change back. Two option buttons in Control Panel are

"grayed" out.

 

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Gemtek

Also, the registry key below was added to my computer thru a Linksys

Wireless-N USB adapter (WUSB300N) that I installed recently. I found a few

links on the Internet that say GTGina.dll was developed by a third party,

in corroboration with Cisco/Linksys corporation.

Linksys USB Wireless Adapter WUSB54GC Installed GTGina.dll

I can confirm this as the cause, having met this one before. Though I have

no idea why a wireless driver should want to replace the gina dll with a

nonstandard one.
