User Accounts Disabled. Please Help

[Guest]

We have a relativly new PC with XP Home Edition. All had our own accounts, until my Dad took the laptop into work and because theur network is windows '98, the account user system was replaced with the classic log in prompt, and in control panel when i try to change how users log on/off, it says a recently installed program "awgina.dll" located in system32 has disabled the user accounts. now every1 can only log on under my dad's name as the administrator. Please Help ! When i come to the "awgina.dll" program, it is an application extension, and when pressing "open with.."it says opening this program may damage my system. Please Help !

Guy,
awgina.dll is a PCAnywhere log-on program which your dad probably uses at
work to log-on. If you aren't using PCAnywhere yourself then I would go into
the System32 folder and delete the awgina.dll file manually. Then reboot and
try to log on. Also do a search for any PCAnywhere files still installed on
your machine. The first place I would look before deleting the file is the
Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. PCAnywhere might be able to be
uninstalled from there before deleting.

Hi,

Use MVP Doug Knox's utility to fix the Welcome screen.
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/fix_xp_logon.htm
[Fix Logon/Restore Welcome Screen]. This should reset the default GINA in registry.

Manual Operation:
---------------------
The Default Windows Logon Interface May Not Appear After Installing Third-Party Program
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302346
[ After you do so, Windows uses the default Graphical Identification and Authentication file (Msgina.dll)]
