I cannot switch to the welcome page to allow the 4 users of my computer to
log on/off. when i select"change the way users log on and off" i get an error
saying "a recently installed program has disabled the welcome screen".
anybody know to to determine what this program is, and how i can remove it?
- or another way to get round this?

thanks in advance

Ramesh,

Thanks, but these procedures did not work - i dont think I have PCanywhere
on my system. the gina file giving me problems is mlrgina - i can see it in
my windows directory. is there any way i can delete, or find out what program
uses it?

thanks

Kevin,

You need to delete the third-party Gina DLL registry reference. See
paragraph "Delete the GinaDLL registry entry" in the KB article 817142.

To automate, you can make use of the REG file in my site:

I also want to thank you ramesh. I had the same problem and used the auto
REG file on your site and it solved the problem. Thanks again.
