Pro Login Screen Is Messed Up Royally
Apr 11, 2006
I have a problem with one of the workstations in my small office, its win2000 Pro and once in awhile upon restart the logn screen turns to jumbled mush, half 75% of the screen is black, the rest blue. The only thing you can really see is part of th wn2000 pro welcome screen. Sometimes after u turn it off a few times it corrects itself but not this time so far and as far as i know it was spyware n virus free.I have seen this in one office before so i thought it was a fairly common problem but after doing a search for awhile I've found nothing on "messed up login screens".

I'm feeling pretty stupid.I just reinstalled XP on my laptop and did some customizations with TweakU and set it to not display my login name assuming that XP would bypass the login screen.Now I can't get into Windows! The Login screen is there with no login names.Is there any way I can force Windows to open and then change the TweakU settings?Is there such a thing as an XP boot CD or DVD that I can download?

I had this set before, but since i messed with something under user logon, I cant get it back anymore.Like how do I set it when I boot up pc, theres the xp logon(with bar going back and forth) then I just want it go straight to screen so I dont have to be clicking my user account. Instead it stays at choose user account.

i have a Misubishi Diammond Plus 200 and an integrated intel video card. Yes im behind in the technology age but i have no money, i am however saving up money, for a new computer. Anyways.After sometime or sometimes after a reboot, my computer screen just goes haywire. I got distorted colours and lines all over the place they are horizontal and 1 - 5 vertical lines splitting up the screen equally. Now at this stage my computer is like unbearable. I cant seem to do anything without it going messed up. This usually runs when im running graphic extensive things but it justed started occuring more and more often. I have no idea what i have installed that can possiby have affected it. I have run spyware scan trojan scan virus scans to no avail.

So yesterday, I had to shutdown the computer by pressing the launch button. After I turned it on again, all icons were pretty much messed up. I use windowsblinds and iconpackager. But I tried deinstalling both of them, and problem didnt go away. I tried to use default windows icons, problem still there. It isnt a huge problem. But it is a bothering one as I don't know where it comes from or how to fix it

I'm using Win XP sp2 and I usually leave my computer on 24/7. This morning I tried to open a file but it never opened. I went into the task manager to see if its even processing and it was there but the ccapp was taking all the cpu. So i tried to shutdown and restart. After that windows boots up to the login screen just fine but when i click on my account it take a long time to show my wallpaper. I can pull up task manager and the cpu isnt being used. the hdd is only accessed in little bursts. After a while the start menu pops up. any keyboard commands like to bring up win explorer takes a long time and all the commands pop up in a big burp of of command executions. I'm trying to reach system restore but cant. I'm not sure how to get into safemode with this system because just after post when f8 is usually used to bring up the menu the system opens a boot drive selection screen. During the RAM tests during post theres text stating press del to enter bios and f8 to enter boot drive selection so im not sure how to get to safemode now.

Out of no where, my computer just shuts off, so I turn it back on and a blue screen appears. It says that it had to shut down windows so that it doesnt cause any problems. So i restart my computer and then when i go to log in, my normal log in screen doesnt appear. It shows a box that says Account Name, and password. Usually its the normal log in screen with the pictures to click on to get into an account. So i "log in", and nex thing I notice is the icons on the desktop have a wierd color to them.Then I notice there is a grey bar covering my taskbar and Start button. I cant click the start button at all. And when I click the Windows button on my keyboard, it pops up the start menu but it doesnt have any icons beside the names. It sort of looks like im in safe mode, but im not.And when I right click on My computer, it doesnt show the General, Computer Name, or Automatic Updates tabs. When I click on the Remote tab, it doesnt show anything and then the tab just disappears.Also when I try starting a program like World of Warcraft, or Ventrillo it says "The application has failed to start becuase the application configuration in incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

A couple of days ago I got a system error message during XP's startup. It told me to proceed. I clicked yes, and it looked like it entered Safe Mode (4 bit, 640 x 480). There were no messages. I reset the color setting to normal and reboot. XP loaded but said Win XP encoutnered a serious error. But everything seemed normal except for my wallpaper that had patterns as if it were in "halftone." (The problem went away when I reapplied the wallpaper.) I ran the usual aps, checked for viruses and spyware, none found.Today I was using IE, MSN Messenger and Windows Media Player when I heard a beep sound and everything froze for about a minute. Then the screen went black for a few second then went into Safe Mode with the low res colors. An error message said there had been a device failure and that I should save my work. I restarted the computer and it was fine.I just replaced my monitor a few days before any of these happened. I also notice a loud sound and light coming from my floppy disk drive after it is used, as if the computer is still reading it.Could it be a hard disk faailure? But shouldn't there be an error message about it? With Win98 I could tell when the HD was conking out because it always ran a scandisk at the start. Could it be the video card?

I don't know what is wrong with my computer. The screen just constantly twitches and it annoys me so much, I want it to stop. I'm not sure what the problem is. Could my monitor be messed up? I have a Dell Dimension XPS T600 from 1999 with XP, up to date virus software. Anyone know what could be wrong here?

my computer would give me a few problems while booting up. I would start the computer, it would run through BIOS, run through the Windows loading screen, and after that it would run the CHKDSK to make sure my disks are fine. CHKDSK doesn't work, it just freezes right before checking the disks, so I restart and generally it will boot up. Most of the time it would boot up perfectly, but rarely would it go to the xp loading screen and then flicker as if it as going to go to the windows login screen but wouldn't. The screen would just stay black and I'd have to restart.
Next time, generally it would work perfect.So this brings me to the current day. After the windows xp loading screen, it goes black. The computer is on, but I don't see any activity for the HDD via the LED. SO i go into safe mode, i finally get CHKDSK to run, I had to really mess with some stuff to get that working. Windows says the volume is fine, and the only way I can boot my PC is in safe mode, but even that will freeze sometimes while loading some of the files.

I was just typing along in a word document when my whole screen on my laptop flipped. File, Edit etc are across the bottom and start and all those things normally across the bottom are on the top - but upside down. The mouse is working backwards as well. MAJOR PAIN. When I restart it, the Windows screen comes up correctly but from the login screen on everything is flipped. I just use that computer for word processing not the internet so I'm hoping it is not a virus. I tried restoring the system

I start up my laptop with the screen closed. When I open the screen I see the XP login screen for a second and then the computer goes black. I can't do anything else.I have Windows XP Home with the service pack 2 (I regret installing it).I never had any problems before. If you know how to fix this let me know.

After booting up my laptop and before the Windows login screen I get a screen which pops up. I have to press the OK button on this screen before the Wondows login screen will appear. The screen has a square outline with the filename in the top left corner and an OK button on the bottom of the screen - the center of the square is blank. The script before the file name is squares and lines which look like bar code. The file name which appears at the end of the script is always a dll type file and seems to be different each boot up. When I search on the file names the files are always related to Windows. These are the file names from the last three times I booted up. xpob2res.dll, wuaueng.dll, mprapi.dll.

I turned on my computer a few days ago, started up as normal, got past the XP logo, then just as the login screen was about to load i got this message:winlogon.exe- Unable to locate component This application has failed because SHLWAPI.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I got an AMD Sempron 2600 and a k7Triton Motherboard for Christmas and put them in my computer. After that my computer barely ever would boot up. If it didnt boot up my loading bar on the windows XP screen would freeze (the blue one) although it didnt freeze it actually would move very very slowly but windows would never load. If windows did boot from me choosing last knwn config(only one I tried) then it would boot flawlessly. But know the real problem.... I came home from school and had not turned my comp off in 2 days (hibernating) and my computer seemed to be slow i pressed ctrl+alt+del and my CPU Usage said 100%! even tho I was barely runing anything so i turned off my computer(not hibernate)

I have had to rebuild both my PC's (and my network) over the last fortnight.
I installed Client Service For Netware in an effort to solve a problem (it wasn't the answer) then deinstalled it.Ever since then I have been getting the Netware Login Screen (single account name & password) rather than the XP screen (multiple account names visible).The pain now is that if another user wants to use the PC I get logged out completely, as opposed to being able to switch user while keeping my programmes running.

Hi-I just tried to load a HP office ject 4215 all-in-one printer on my computer using the typical install which included all kinds of features. I don't have enough space so I removed it using the uninstall feature on the cd. It did not remove everything so I used Windows explorer to find what I could. Then, I reinstalled it using the minimum requirements. It is working fine but everytime my screen saver comes on, when I move the mouse I am at a windows login screen that shows the users (only one which is me) on the right and I have to click this to get back to my desktop. I have Windows XP Professional.

When i boot my windows xp home edition machine, the normal login screen appears, but not all of the users and their icons show up One user and the guest user doesn't display...it is also in a lower resolution, so that may be why the other users don't show up, because there isn't enough room. Even when i click on my user, the first one listed, nothing happens. It doesn't log on, so I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice to get the alternative login screen to appear...and then when i click OK for my user, it logs in. I would like to have it back to the original state of the first login screen...and not have to go through the steps of the other screen. Has anybody ever experienced this before?

For some reason, I can only get the old Windows 2000 logon prompt, even though I have "Use The Welcome Screen" and "Use Fast User Switching" enabled in my User Account settings. I want to use the Windows XP style logon. Unfortunately, with the classic logon prompt, I am unable to switch users without logging out of my current account.

Ive recently been putting my comp in standby every night instead of shut down, but last night I shut it down and now it wont come back!! It stays at the Windows XP loading screen. I am only able to load it into "safe mode w/ networking." The "Last settings that worked" option does not work. I have tried to restore it 3 times to 3 different dates, and all give me the same result---stuck at windows XP screen in normal mode, or loading in safe mode.

Goto control panel > user accounts > "change the way users log on or off" > uncheck the first box "Use the Welcome Screen". here you'll get a regular win2k/NT login screen.

I have a Dell laptop that I have tried many times to password but it sort of doesn't work.The laptop has Windows XP Professional on it, Version 2002 with Service pack 2.My husband bought it from a buddy at work who's wife wanted a laptop, but then decided she didn't like it. She didn't delete her account so it's still under her name.I have set up a user account in my name on it and passworded it. When I reboot the laptop, it goes straight into "her" account. I want the screen where it gives me the User names so you have to type my password in order to even access the laptop. It always totally bypasses that screen.
I tried setting up a dummy account and turned on the Guest account and rebooted the laptop. I STILL don't get the User login screen.I really want this to work because for 1. the laptop is being used only for backing up personal family pictures and I'd really rather be able to password my children out of it and 2. when I go to my girlfriends' house, her mother seems to think she can just help herself to my laptop whenever she feels like it. I'd logged off - it's the only way to get the User login screen - but somehow she managed to bypass it. I KNOW the only way around it is to reboot the laptop, but she swears up and down she just opened the lid and the account was open.
