of course you would still need to log on first using
Ctrl-Alt-Del to
logon by explicitly typing the User name and Password

I recently purchased a refurbished PC that came with a Genuine copy of WINXP Pro SP3.

This version of WINXP has a problem with the Welcome logon screen, as described in KB917556 - "When you try to log on to a Windows XP-based computer from the Welcome logon screen, you cannot type your password."

Has anyone found a fix for this problem (other than Ctrl-Alt-Del to logon by explicitly typing the User name and Password)?

Thanks.
