Hi, I was just working on my computer yesterday, and logged off (I usually just leave my computer on....without even logging off). It was working fine since the last time I logged on...about 5 days ago. But yesterday when I tried to log off, instead of the usual Win XP logon screen with the username and the icon on its side, a popup with a 2 textboxes, username and password appeared....just like Win 2000. I didn't install anything in a while. Can anyone help? Thanks

Under user accounts in the control panel, choose "select the way users log on or off" under there should be the option for the welcome screen check that box and you should be good to go

The "Use Welcome Screen" and "Use Fast Switching" boxes are already checked, still it's the same thing......

don't know if this helps but if you are on the welcome screen and you press ctrl+alt+del it goes to this menu, see if you can get back from there?
