When trying to activate my long time ago set-up guest account, I keep getting a pop-up saying that the user selection has been deactivated by "Client Services for NetWare" and that this should be de-installed before reactivating user selection. I do not remember installing it and can not find any files/programs leading to it
View 1 RepliesI am trying to fix a friends computer my usual story. Once it gets to the user screen for user selection both keyboard and mouse stop working, its either they stop working or the computer freezes, i am not sure. Life still goes to the mouse as it still lights. The keyboad works fine in the bios but not at freezing point.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently fixed my parents� computer and while I was at it I upgraded their OS from Windows Me to Windows XP Home Edition (no service pack). After I did I got the User Selection Welcome Screen at start-up asking me to select the account I want to use (even though there�s only one to choose!). This happened to me on my own computer when I upgraded XP Pro so I thought I knew what to do to get rid of it. I went to Kelly�s Korner (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm) and used the �Add ControlUserPasswords2 To Control Panel� registry addon to get the User Accounts 2 icon.

I just had my hard drive reformatted and am pleased with the results but now I have to select a user account before it continues to boot. There is only one user account, which makes this futile. Can I bypass this? There must be a setting somewhere.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Dimension 4300 desktop. Until last night, I was having trouble doing anything on my computer. After start up, my outdated version of Norton would pop up saying a virus was found. I couldn't get anything else to respond and the window would never go away. So I eventually got it to stop, and the I ran various spyware, registry, and anti-virus utilities to the point where my computer was working flawlessly.
Then I decided that I would just uninstall Norton (since I installed a new anti-virus program). I hadn't updated it in over a year and I never really liked it anyway. It took over an hour to remove (I think because the quarantine folder was so large). I chose to remove everything including the quarantine folder. After the uninstall successfully completed, I restarted the computer. I got to the Windows XP user selection screen (I have 5 users set up) and tried to select my user profile, but I couldn't click on it.
My Norton AntiVirus just upgraded from v2008 to v2009.Several weirdnesses ensued:
1. At the Windows Welcome screen, arrow keys could move the user selection up & down, but no alphanumeric keys made any visible entry (dot) in password field. Clicking Shut Down and restarting corrected this (for now, anyway).
2. The [Start] > [Log Off] > [Switch Users] button is missing. This would be a straightforward fix, except that
3. In Control Panel, User Accounts lacks "Change the way users log on or off"! [Is XP SP3's REAL purpose to hose up a nicely-running XP SP2 box, so the owner will FINALLY spring for a Vista system?]
4. Clicking any of the "Learn About." links opens the help page in IE7, but with its contents crowded to the left and the yellow bar at the top. Clicking to allow blocked content (Are you sure? YES!) results in yet another dialog about an ActiveX control that "might be unsafe" but the only new ActiveX control on this PC is one from Symantec, installed during the NAV 2009 upgrade. NAV 2009 was the FIRST product I've run into that did NOT permit its EULA to be selected, printed or saved. I like to keep a record of things I've agreed to, but that text was out of reach! Sixteen screenshots later.
My computer used to have a dual boot of XP & Vista on a single hard drive with 2 partitions. I deleted Vista Partition and from a "Ghost image backup" i installed ONLY windows XP on a single partition. My problem now is; when the computer boots, It now stops on the "OS selection screen" for 20 seconds asking; Microsoft Windows Vista Earlier version of Microsoft windows( xp )Since Vista is not even on the hard drive how can i make this selection screen go away and default to Windows XP all the time?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe "All Programs" selection has disappeared in the menu. This is on my friends computer, which has XP Pro. I use HE, so I'm not that familiar with the nuances of Pro, so it may just be a setting that's unique to Pro. He has the other selections on the menu, and the desktop icons, and also can get the programs to list if he switches to the "Classic Start Menu" on the taskbar properties menu. But on the regular XP menu, there's a space where the "All Programs" selection would be, but it's blank. And hovering the pointer over that space still does not bring it up.
Since the listing of the programs DOES show up with the Classic menu, that's why I'm thinking it's just a setting. I've poked around in the Customize>General tab and the Advanced tab, but none of that stuff seems to work (it doesn't seem pertinent to the situation either). Now two other posts that I've made here may be pertinent to this issue.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using my genuine (original) XP Pro (oem) CD to do repair & setup on multiple older PCs just to get them in shape and up to date. It was working fine & able to activate on the first few machines, but finally then, I got this message, after it finished running a setup, booting into the Welcome screen, "Windows Product Activation: (with a circled Red X) This copy must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to Activate Windows now? Yes or No" I keep clicking "yes" but the same message box keeps reappearing continuously. It would not go any further. What is wrong? Is because I use the same product key to run several repair setups on multiple machines in a short period or did I use it to register & activate from different IP address under different names?
