Login process has failed to create the security options dialog
The person you are talking too probably hasn't waited a year for you.
-- .. -- "GKB" wrote in message ... I've had the same problem; screen freezes, comes back slowly, freezes again, taking forever to do anything, recovering with control:alt:del and finally an error message saying "Login process has failed to create the security options dialog". Days later, and after lots of aggravation, I got a blue screen of death and that gave the game away. It turns out that Vista was trying its best with a faulty power supply that was shorting across a damaged lead. I took off the shorting connector and all's well, Vista is back perfectly. I thought it would be easy to tell whether a problem is hardware or software, but it's not -- GKB Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Login process has failed to create the security options dialog
I just thought I'd put in my two cents worth... I have been bugged by this problem ever since I enabled my Sidebar in my Windows Gadgets in Vista. I tried the chkdsk routine and it seemed to solve the problem once. Then it came back and I got to thinking, the problem seemed to coincide with my turning on the sidebar so why not turn it off and see if that's it. So I did and haven't had a problem yet - and my computer is running a lot faster! (of course it's only been 1 day but I think that must have been it.) My theory is that when I turned on the current weather feature which requires a live internet connection to continuously update the weather, it caused the problem when it could not connect (for reason's unrelated, I have to switch my ethernet chord on my laptop rather frequently to connect to two different networks and if I don't do an Ipconfig /renew I'm sure it just sits there grinding away not able to connect). Anyway, give it a try - it might work for you! To disable it, goto the control panel, double-click 'Windows Sidebar...' and uncheck 'Start Sidebar when Windows starts' Good Luck!

Login process has failed to create the security options dialog
Well guys...I hope you didn't have the same fix as me where I had all of the same issues but I knew I had not downloaded anything that could have compromised my system. So I followed other advice...ran chkdsk, cleared temp files, turned off superfetch, etc.... I then remembered that I had uninstalled an expired version of an anti-virus software. Unfortunately, sometimes they uninstall common files since I did have more than one anti-virus installed. I booted into safe mode with networking and uninstalled all of the anti-virus software on my system and voila.....that's all it took. They stopped competing for files that didn't exist and now I will re-install the ones I intend to keep using. It sucks that some of you are installing new HDDs. Anyway, for those who see this first...try uninstalling and reinstalling virus software. See if it helps. Good luck. -- kriddyk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kriddyk's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/223760.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-security/771124.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
