Welcome Screen
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Martin on 16 Jul 2010 16:58 I have windows xp home with the blue welcome screen and I bought a wireless usb adapter the other week and I installed it on my pc. After I installed it, i restarted my pc, when my pc was back on, I noticed that i have the windows xp pro welcome screen. i have tried to change the welcome screen back to its normal one but i get an error message: A recently installed program has disbaled the welcome 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: athgina.dll. I have search the internet about this file and it is telling me that i need to go into the registery to edit the file but i don't want to damage my pc. Regards

Uninstall the wireless app. Change the screen back to the welcome. Install the wireless app custom - paying attention and understanding what you install. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The wireless adapter software has replaced the MSGINA dll (Graphical Identification and Authentication dll) with its own. Either you remove the wireless adapter software or either you edit the registry and remove the third party ginadll entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. The Default Windows Logon Interface May Not Appear After Installing Third-Party Program http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302346/fr) You Cannot Use Fast User Switching After You Install Cisco Systems VPN Dialer Program http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829715
