Windows XP hangs on Start up -Toshiba Satellite P105

Please note laptop has Fingerprint system - read where wrong advice
really messed up someone laptop.

From day of purchase my operating system would boot straight to windows.
This Tech jerk from HP did a remote so that I could print wireless. He changed
settings that I had to fix but, the one I have now I can not.
When computer starts up now I get a Welcome with:
Please logon on to enroll your finger prints.
Press CTL-Alt-Delete to long on using password
and
SQL Server that say -could not find the specified name instance (MicrosoftBCM)
Please specified the name of an existing instance on the invocation of Sqlservr.exe.
If you believe that you installation is corrupt or has been tampered with uninstall then
re-run setup to correct this problem.

I do not want to use the fingerprint software with the above message, I do not like.
I would like for my laptop to load straight to windows without logon stuff.
I attempted to fix the problem from Toshiba forum that suggested to change settings
in the fingerprint management system.
I tried that and it did not work.
The settings as follows:
1) Do not show Ctrl-Alt-Delete message (not checked)
2) Allow power-on security single sign on (checked)
3) Enable fast user switching support (not checked)
System info: Satellite P105) with fingerprint option
XP Professional (Service Pk 3), CPU T-2500 @ 2.00GHZ
Memory 2048 MB Ram
Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS

Pleas reply and let me know. Would upgrading to vista help, my internet connections firefox
keep freezing where I need to restart a lot. Could this be the Service pk 3. or something else.
thanks

Hi Duvall,

From what I understand, the changes you made were on Windows... is this correct? If so, have you tried to check in the BIOS settings if you can enable/disable FingerPrint reader?

About the freezing, I suggest you do the steps here: Is your PC running slow...?

Also check HDD and RAM for hardware related errors. Use Memtest86+ for RAM and use your HDD maker's diagnostic tool to test the HDD.

Can I just uninstall the fingerprint reader software?
or just disable at bios.
