Can't use welcome screen

I've run into a problem where the blue welcome screen is no longer used (list of users, icons) and the NT method with the User/PW dialog box is used instead.
I tried to go in and change this in control panel ("Change the way users log on and off") but I run into error when I load that screen and again when I try to mark the unchecked boxes for "Use Welcome Screen" and "Fast User Switching". It reads: "ClassFactory cannot supply the requested class"
I installed SP1 a few days before this and it booted up fine one or two times with that. The only thing I can think of that changed was Windows Media Player 9. Any help is appreciated (can't stand this login method!).
