Client Services for NetWare

[quizzelsnatch]

I am trying to enable the Welcome Screen for Windows XP Home. However, when i go to the Change the way users log in/off menu. And it gives me the following error message:

Client services for NetWare has disabled the Welcome screen and Fast User Switching. To restore these features, you must uninstall Client Services for Netware.

I am wondering how this works because Client Services for Netware is already disabled and is it even possible to disable a service? If anybody can give me some info on how this is possible and a possible fix for it? Thank you.

Can you uninstall Client Services for Netware? If not, try following these steps. The critical step for your issue is this one:

Change the GinaDLL value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon
Under this key exists a string value named "GinaDLL".
Edit this entry from "NWGINA.DLL" to "MSGINA.DLL".

Yeah, i figured out how to do it through a little googling. Thanks anyways though.

Disabled and uninstalled aren't the same thing.

Bingo. If NWClient is installed (properly), you won't be able to do it. 😉
