Login and Shutdown Menus Changed in WinXP Pro

JTvo · 06-29-2009, 12:11 AM

Hello

I've looked around these forums and searched, but haven't found the answer to my problem yet. Hopefully because it's an easy fix.

From the day I installed WinXP Pro SP3 up to 2 days ago, the login screen consisted of a picture and a login box with my user icon. The "Shut Down" menu consisted of a box with three buttons. When I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del, the task manager popped up.

Now:

The login screen consists of an input box with a dropdown menu to select my username. The shutdown menu has the same dropdown menu to select which action I want to take. When I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, a menu with six buttons appears for various functions (lock comp, task manager, shut down, etc.)

This is just an aesthetics thing, but I'd like to know how I could change these menus back to the way they were. Again, this is probably a simple fix, I've just never had to do anything like this before.

Cheers

Go into Control Panel, and click Taskbar and Start Menu and see if any setting are changed.

XP Professional is used for the easy multi-user login at a network level, using the interface you described.

I don't know how I forgot how to do this, but the place to go is Control Panel > User Accounts, under the "Select logon and logoff options" link. After I remembered, I found that my problem was brought on by MrvGINA.dll which was installed with a Netgear wireless router.

I found the solution to my problem here: Netgear's mrvgina.dll has disabled fast user switching, Anyone know how to fix?

Thanks anyway people.

Cheers
