lost welcome screen and fast switching

[Guest]

I have just installed SP2.

When I boot up I now get the old classic logon and password request instead
of the welcome screen.

I have gone to the Control Panal - then to the useracounts. When i click
"change the way users log on" I get an error message telling me that a
recently installed program has disabled fast change and welcome screen and
advises me to uninstall the program It also tells me that the program may be
identified by the following file C:\Windows\system32\BCMlogon.dll

I am unsure what to do from here. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled
SP2 but nothing has changed. I was advisd to delete netware and have done so
but without gain.

Any further advice please

Aitionn,

Fix Logon/Restore Welcome Screen:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/fix_xp_logon.htm

This should reset the default GINA in registry. To set it manually, see the
following KB article:

The Default Windows Logon Interface May Not Appear After Installing
Third-Party Program
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302346.

Note that you will need to delete the "GinaDLL" entry rather than assigning
a blank data to it.

I too would like to say "Thank You"

The links you provided were very helpful.

I am about to write to the offending software authors and invite them to
look to their mores about doing such a thing to me without some warning!! I
am most agrieved that just by updating drivers I can be rewarded by hassle!

(Please fwd this to Doug if you can)

That should be aggrieved!
