Scarecrow Man Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Start > Run > control userpasswords2make sure the "Users must enter a password to log on" is unchecked click OK.It will ask you who is to be the default log on, set it to whoever you please and log off.

nellie2 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Go to control panel, click on User accounts, then click on User accounts again, then click on 'change the way users log on and off' :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I downloaded a non priority Windows update a few days ago which caused this to happen. Someone on here told me to uninstall it and that got rid of it. The moral is only to download priority updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artist Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Well - that was fun - Message saying it could not log on............... :D Have put the tick back. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Did you put in the right username/password when it asks you who the default is?See attached picture. If you uncheck the "users must enter a password" box, and click apply, this comes up. Put in your username/password and it logs you in automatically.

rong Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Do you need the other account?( if it has one) if not delete it. I think I had andsomes download and went into user accounts and took it of as I got a log in box at startup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I had andsomes download and went into user accounts and took it of as I got a log in box at startup.Just checked up and the download concerned was Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 if you uninstall this is in add/remove it should put the matter right.

andsome Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 do not uninstall .netframeworkdo as Scarecrow Man has advisedAlready uninstalled it, it was a non priority download. What harm can it do uninstalling it, if it was non priority?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 It is just that quite a few programs now use the .Net Frame work, and if you don't have it installed they will not be able to run on your machine.The new Paint.Net that Powerless gave a link to in Software News will not run on a PC with out the .Net Framwork.Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzman Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 He's reinstalled version 1.0 of .net - he only undid the upgrade. He should still be able to launch all needed applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I installed .NET 1.1 in order to be able to install the new Paint program. Everything is completely back to running normally, except for this damned log on requirement. It is NOT serious of course, just an irritant.

andsome Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 OK, I've sorted it now thanks. Took a chance and reset everything, closed down and the computer restarted without the log on screen. I know what I did wrong, I did not type my name into the little box which came up when I unticked the requirement to log on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I am mystified by all of this about passwords. Never any trouble to me. I, and my immediate family, are the only ones ever to use my machines so, when I first build or set them up, I leave all questions/boxes/requests for passwords in the Windows installation procedure and carry on without filling them in.Having said that, I think a lot of the problems here and those which andsome is having in another thread is due to a password being entered somewhere in the Windows setup process, even though it may no longer be used.There is most likely a way of removing this, although I don't know what it is and I'm not happy about investigating how to do it in case of disturbing something which would then require me to use a password.Perhaps I'm wrong. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have alway just booted straight up with no problem, until I downloaded and installed .NET framework 1.1 so that I could also install Paint .NET. As I said though it is all sorted now. It just mystifies me though as to why Microsoft made the .NET upgrade cause computers to require a log on window by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rong Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I'm the same as andsome never set a pasword, but the upgrade set up its own account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
