Logon Diverted

[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

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.

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.
