When attempting to reenable Fast User Switching I get a message that a recently instal;led program has disabled this feature. I also get a hint that points to msgina.dll The only program i suspected would be the culprit is Cisco VPN v4 that has since been removed but the Old Style Login screen remains. I tried replacing msgina but still no change. How do I get the novice friendly login page back?

See if these help. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;279765&sd=tech http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&biw=796&q=re+enable+Fast+User+Switching+&btnG=Search&meta= http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&biw=796&q=enable+Fast+User+Switching+&spell=1

Is it probable that the VPN software altered the msgina.dll file? I was hoping to be able to tweak a setting in the registry to get back to the normal Welcome screen.
