    Logon problems
    As you may know from my preivious question, Connecting two computers, I own a Dell Dimension with Windows XP. I have to type my name when logging in, and want to change this. When I try to change to Fast User Switching, I get the following message:
    A recently installed program has disabled 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: GTGina.dll. Does anyone know how to fix this?:confused: :confused: :confused:

    To restore the default Windows logon interface, remove the following string value from the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GinaDLL
    After you do so, Windows uses the default Graphical Identification and Authentication file (Msgina.dll).

    This is a problem caused by the installation of the Linksys WUSB54GC - Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter (I assume you have one?). This issue can be resolved by reinstalling this adapter using latest drivers from linksys website here:
