password required on start up

i have recently installed a wireless internet card in my pc and since doing this the fast user switching and welcome screen has been disabled. apparently by a programme called mrvGINA.dll. is there any way i can change this without uninstalling the programme.thanks.

REGISTRY INVOLVED!
after installing the new netgear driver/utility go to Start -->Run and type regedit.

when the registry editor opens browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version/WINLOGON
Delete the key named GINAdll

Thats it....afterward you may want to go back into the control panel and check the 'change the way users log on or off' and make sure the welcome screen and fast user switching are both checked.

Hope that helps. If not post back.
