690754 2008-07-21 04:02:00 Somehow, I've got the old 98-style sign-in screen for XP .

It happened when I was trying to fix something that wasn't broken . I had lost my DSL and thought my network had gotten gobbed up . . so that's the reason why I think .

OK . . I'm to blame . . but what's the repair?

Edited: Opps just read Wratterus post - think I read the question wrong :crying

690756 2008-07-21 04:11:00 Or if it's not that go to user accounts in the control panel, click change the way users log on or off, and tick both boxes. :cool:

Edit - it may well be both issues combined! :p

690758 2008-07-21 04:50:00 OK . . went to User Accounts and got a pop-in screen that says:


Client Services for NetWare has disabled the Welcome screen and Fast User Switching . To restore these features you must uninstall Client Services for NetWare .

OK . . . How?

690759 2008-07-21 04:53:00 In control panel, click on network and internet connections. Then click on network connections. Right click on properties and select the network/internet connection you use. Check each one individually by right clicking and then clicking properties. When you see the client services for netware in the list of properties click on it to remove the small x. Don't click anything else. Now scroll down and hit uninstall. Your PC will reboot with the old netware logon. After it does go back to control panel and click user accounts and change how people logon. Now you will be allowed to re-establish the welcome and fast switching tabs that netware disabled.

That should work, was quicker than me typing it out. :D
