Default Welcome screen & fast user switching



Hey all,

I had the welcome screen and fast user switching (FUS)
enabled and it was working properly. I had to install a
VPN client software for my office and it seems to have
disabled that welcome screen/FUS capability.

When I went into users to turn it back on, it told me
some recently installed program had disabled that feature
and to re-enable it, I had to uninstall the software. I
took the VPN spftware back off, but the same thing
message is popping up about uninstalling the program. It
listed a file \WINDOWS\MSGina.dll that could point me in
the right direction as to the program that was installed.

I'm out of options with how to re-enable that feature.
Has anyone faced similar or know what makes up the
welcome screen file wise? Can anyone help?

Windows XP, p4 3.0Ghz 1 Gb memory
