Vista Welcome Screen

[timam]

Hi folks,

I am a newcomer to Vista. On starting Vista, the user login logos are all in duplicates. How do I remedy this problem. Thanks for your help.

Are you referring to the User Account pictures?

If so, go to your Start Menu > Control Panel

Open User Accounts. Click the "Change your picture option". If you are logged in as an account with Administrative priviledges you should be able to change the pictures for other accounts by clicking "Manage Another Account" and repeating the step above.

Thanks.

I am not trying to change the logo picture. Whatever account I create appears twice on log in screen!

- Log onto the computer using the Administrator account

- Control Panel/User Accounts/Manage Another Account

You can select and delete the duplicates from there.

Even the logo of the Admin account appears in duplicate. When I go to control panel/user accounts/ there are actually no duplicate accounts. It is some problem related to the logos display. Thanks.

Hi Timan,

Welcome to the forum.

Are you using a Omnipass fingerprint reader?

If so, this may help you:

If it does not help, then the only solution is to uninstall and reinstall Omnipass completely. You will lose your credentials of course, and will have to signup again.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Many thanks, Shawn.

You are right. I am using Omnipass fingerprint reader.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Best wishes for the season

Grateful thanks to you, Shawn.

As you rightly said the problem of double logo was due to incompatibility from one of the VIsta updates with OmniPass. For the benefit of those having the same problem, you can download this patch to solve it : http://www.softexinc.com/download/UninstMSPwdProv.exe

Regards and happy New Year to all

Timam,

Thank you for posting the link for the patch. I'm sure it will help others with the same problem. I was not aware of the patch they had.
