weird pc issue... log in screen after installing wireless card.

[seb]

Jsut installed a wirelss card for my desktop. Installed no issues. But once i had plugged the card into the PCI and plugged it all together again, on start up, it went to a windows log in page.

It had my name in it and a space for password etc. Just like you'd have to log on at work.

I just pressed enter and it loaded into the desktop. I have no idea why it has done this as i never had that before? Only happend after i have installed the wireless card....

anyone know why?

Probably something to do with the inept muppet operating the PC

(Seriously... No idea mate.. One of those things I guess)

This used to happen on windows 98, once u installed a network card it asked you for a username and password to use as if it was being networked. No idea why it would come up now though, must be something similar. Did u used to have the welcome screen before? Guessing ur on xp

LOL amen Griff.

I expect by putting that in it has somehow turned off use the Login using pretty fag pictures. If you want to change it go COntrol Panel and then USers.

Click on change the way I logon and put a tick in the boxes there.

The way you have it now is the mans way of logging in

My pc did this after i installed a wireless adaptor n so far i havent found a way to remove it. Its gheyyy!

You just need to do some registry changes. Google it.
