Re: XP Welcome Screen



I see from this post and other posts that many people are experiencing this.
I, too, suspect that it was one of the Microsoft Patches from October since
that's when it started happening to the computers that I manage at my school.
Most of them are XP Pro, but some are XP Home. They run Office software
ranging from 2000-2003. Is there any hope that there might be a way to
determine what is causing this, or do we have to hope that it will go away on
its own some day with another patch?

I'm also having the non-responding Welcome Screen problem (but NOT always).
I'm running XP-Pro. I do NOT have Office - I'm a Word Perfect Holdout! I
think (not know) that the problem arose after I installed the Microsoft
software which came with the "Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0" and the "Wireles
Comfort Keyboard 1.0A"

This problem occurs randomly on two of my machines, both are xp sp2 pro
(one nl, one en) with all patches.
But both also have office 2k3 nl with all patches and recent forceware
drivers. Could people who have this problem please post if they have
these installed too? Probably has nothing to do with the video drivers,
but I suspect the advanced input features office uses are causing these
problems...

No -- one of my machines has Office XP/2002, not 2003.
