Re: images blocked

..NET framework 1.1 SP1? That fixes the problem with the ASP.NET user showing up at logon.

Hmmm. I had SP1 and even V2.2 but still had the similar issue after a hard install. <shrug>

If one goes to Windows Update and gets SP1 for the .NET framework 1.1 then that fixes those issues.

This is really a question for your OS newsgroup, but I just had a similar experience.

I had to reload XP/SP2. Prior to that, when I booted up I was taken directly to the Desktop. After the install, I had to click on the Icon at the Welcome Screen to continue to my Desktop and I never set a logon password.

I inquired and was first told to remove NET.Framwork, which didn't help. This was the solution that worked for me. It includes instructions whether you had a password, or not.

If you go to the Control Panel | User Accounts, you should see an ASP.NET account that was created. Leave the ASP.NET account and go to Start | Run and type:

Control userpasswords2

Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
Click apply
On the popup window type in your user name,password,and confirm the
password
Click OK
Click OK

If you never entered a logon password when setting up the machine, go to Control Panel | User Accounts and create a password for your account. Now go back and do the above again.

I know it doesn't make sense that you have to have a password in order to ignore it, but you are dealing with Microsoft.

Hope this helps.

Looking thru my PC log, I see I downloaded and installed .NET Framework which
was a required component of one of those MS Power Toys. Was about that time
my OE went wonky with the missing graphics. Also, my PC now INSISTS I login
at each bootup where before, everything loaded without my intervention. I'm
on a standalone desktop and have no need for any network settings and now
wonder if there's some underlying security settings in that .NET Framework
file?

Steve,
Yes, I've tried all those settings in the Security TAB numerous times, but
thanks anyway.
