Old Logon Screen

from Stardock Forums
I'm running on Windows XP Media Center Edition, and I recently downloaded LogonStudio. When XP boots, thats the only time the logon skin shows. How do I get it to be the same screen that comes up when I come back from leaving the computer idle? Welcome Screen and Fast User switching are both enabled, but when I come back, it gives me a really old looking logon screen, that doesn't even have my computer name on it, it still says "test" from when HP fixed me computer. Any thoughts?

Contact the repairer and find out how to put the comp back to the way you want it,unless they fitted another logon software that may be listed in add/remove or remove entry from startup if there is any possability

EDIT: just had a thought perhaps uninstall logon studio do a registry sweep then re-install it,doing so with any luck may override the test thingy

set to default, then uninstall, reboot, sweep, then check to make sure the xp default is working as it should prior to reinstalling LS

I tried both those things, and it didn't work, still shows the old school logon screen.

taskmanager shows up. or do you mean during the logon? im not trying to get rid of the password feature, I just want it to look like the default logon screen.

There's 2 or is it 3 types of logon that xp orignally came with ,the icon type for quick logon & no password,the icon type but need password,then there's the one that has a little rectangular box that requires user name & password you select the one you want under accounts i think ?? the test thing you mention is odd i have an S5020AN Presario 2004,i have never seen any option for a test screen logon & believe me if it were in here i would've found it,is there in your programs list any sort of wording along the lines of,system fault finding,system help,troubleshooting, i think your logon issue is due to some either new hp software for trouble shooting from the program list or new software that has been installed or a logon created by the repairer so he/she new which account they were in,other than what i've written below i'm pretty much lost as to what to suggest short of using the repair windows function,why can't you just get hold of the repairer it'll save a stack of speculation



A longshot that most probably won't work: would creating another admin user account then deleting the one your having trouble with work ?? you'll be give'n an option to save the old account in a folder inside the new account or permanently delete as i remember

nope, meant hoping taskmanager showed up ... was hoping they hadn't kinda set you into a domain or something with that 'test' thing

HP suggested I create a new admin too, said it would prolly work, but I'm too scared to do it for fearing of losing some of my stuff and settings, do the things carry over well? I did try it though, and it just keeps freezing on me everytime I finally click Delete Account.
