Hi, something new has just happened to my PC today,
When i turned it on it asked for a password in a similar sort of box to the one below, then when i was logged in and pressed Ctrl Alt Del i was presented with this screen, i've been using XP for years and i've never seen this before.
Anyone know how to get rid of it

Panic over, upon doing as you suggested, i was presented with a screen saying that it had been changed by a programme called MrVgina.dll (lol at the name).

After a little google it seems it was changed by the new netgear pci card i installed last week. still bizzare it should take a week, then just change.

if i want to change it back i have to dissable my pci card. guess i'll have to put up with it like this.

I came across this when I installed a Netgear Wifi card in a pc for someone - XP switched to the Windows 2000 style log on screen. Must be a trait of Netgear!
