I just re-installed 98 on a workstation and I can not get the login screen to come up. All the settings are correct, but i get no login screen. When you boot the machine, it goes right into windows without connecting to the network. You can "log off" and it will bring you to the log in screen. Once you enter your info, it logs into the network no problem. Is there some kind of setting or switch on the registery to turn this on. HELP! Thanks, Chris

Right click on Network Neighborhood icon on your desktop. Select properties. change primary network logon to client for microsoft networks.

Here are ways to get rid of them. Just try them in reverse to see if they will work. I got this from annoyances.org . For the first one, where it says primary network logon, just choose the one that best suits you (I think they also have family, and something else). 1) Windows 95/98/Me (If you don't have multiple users configured): Open Control Panel, and double-click on the Network icon. From the list entitled Primary Network Logon:, choose Windows Logon, and press OK. Note: If this doesn't work, make sure you didn't initially configure a password for yourself. If you did, Windows 98 will always require it. Double-click on the Passwords icon in Control Panel to choose nothing (leave it blank) for your password. 2) Windows 95/98/Me (If you do have multiple users configured): Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Network\ Logon. Double-click on the Process Logon Script value, and change the data from 00 00 00 00 to 00 00 00 01 Hope that helps. Kevin.

I have the machine set for client for microsoft networks. I tried switching it back to windows login and then back to Client for microsoft networks. No luck. I will try the steps that Kevin suggested. I'll let you know. Thanks, Chris

You might want to try the Network forum.

Also try the Users icon in the Control Panel to set it up.
