For some unknown reason my computer had changed the log on screen.
To change it back I went to the user accounts in the control panel and try
to change the way users log on on and off I get a message telling me that:

"A recently installed program has disabled the welcom screen and fast user
switching. To restore these features, you must uninstall the program. The
following file name might help you identify the program that made the change:
ginamsi.dll''

Trouble is if I remove that file the computer crashes big time and it's a
real bitch just putting the file back as is disables a lot of the bios like
usb etc so no mouse. And If I had not had the sense to copy that file before
I removed it I would have really been in the cactus. One thing though I will
not forget to take a note of where it was removed from.....
A couple of hours later up an running again but now wondering what to do to
get fast switching back and anything else that thing is interfering with.

Can anybody help???????????

Hi flowers,

The ginamsi.dll file is, apparently, from the motherboard utility
application called MSI LockBox. You could uninstall the MSI LockBox utility
and then restart your computer, or use the "Fix Windows® XP Logon/Restore
Welcome Screen" fix that is provided courtesy of Doug Knox:

Thanks Patti!
Lock box was the ticket.
