Startup/logon screen

[Guest MikeB]

On my desktop computer I have a weird problem. It has now happened

with two applications I tried installing. Other applications don't

cause this to happen.

 

The applications (one was D-link's wireless config utilities, the

other a VPN application) cause my Windows XP Pro SP3 system to revert

the logon screen from the normal one with the user icons on the right

to the "classic" login pane that pops up and one has to type the

userid of a user to log in.

 

I "fixed" it the first time round by uninstalling the D-Link Wireless

config utilities, but I can't uninstall the VPN application - I need

it.

 

Any advice/hints on what could make the login screen flip and how to

restore it without uninstalling the application that cause this to

happen?

 

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

 

This has to do with added Client Services (Netware) added via VPN....

 

Right click My Network Places and select Properties. Right click the

Internet connection in question, or LAN connection, and select Properties.

On the Networking tab, This connection uses...highlight Client Services for

Netware and select Uninstall.

Kelly, thanks for responding.

 

So I *have* to uninstall something? There isn't just an option to get

the regular WinXP login screen back?

 

Do you have some background information that can explain this? Why is

WinXP working this way? Is there something in the MS support base that

I can read up on?
