Logon screen has my picture twice
Hello,
I have a lenovo 3000 N100 laptop with Vista Home Basic preinstalled. I don't know what happened, but when the logon screen appears it shows my user icon twice. There is only one user account. Furthermore, if I create another user, the icon of that user then also appears twice, thus having a total of 4 user icons on the logon screen. Any idea on what is going on? Thanks, Nicos Antoniou |

My hunch is that it may have something to do with the KB938979 update. See
the Known Issues Default Folders section he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938979 I'm not sure whether it relates to your situation or not, but it could be pertinent. In C:\Users, are there any superfluous, or recently added, user folders, added around the time of the update's installation? "Nicos Antoniou" wrote in message ...

Are you using Norton or any Symantec Product. When installing the KB938979 update did you disable Norton. There is a known issue with Norton and the KB938979 update

Yes,
I have Norton Internet Scurity and I did NOT disable it during the KB938979 update. How do I either uninstall KB938979 or fix the problem? Regards, Nicos "Peter Foldes" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately I am not running Vista and it is hard for me to tell if it can be uninstalled. Your best bet would be to repost this issue along with all the details to the public.windowsupdate newsgroup where there is many experts there to help you with this issue. Maybe someone here can also tell you if it can be uninstalled and then reinstalled manually with Norton disabled. To download this Update manually http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en Here is the link to the windowsupdate newsgroup if you want to try there news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....windowsupdate -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

I don't know if any of you have Omnipass installed (something to do with
fingerprint readers), but from a thread on microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_acco unts_passwords, posted by JohanL: Hi again, after uninstallning my omnipass program, performing a few re-boots and installning my Omipass program again everything seems to have solved itself. Apparently it was some sort of mismanagment of the Omnipass program and a Vista update. Hope that helps. Mark.
