I have XP set to use the "classic" log on screen. When I am done with my
PC I log off. This leaves it displaying the log on screen where you
enter user name and password and press OK. Twice now since installing
SP2 I have come home to find the text fields disabled so that I cannot
enter text into them to log on. My only option is to restart the
computer. There is nothing in the event viewer at all.

I noticed that this appears to be an issue with Theme switching. You'll
notice that the text boxes have a 3D border, but when my login screen is
working correctly they have a flat 1-pixel border. My user account has
Windows Classic look enabled, and it switches to the default XP look
when I log off. It looks like this switch is not completing properly
sometimes.
