Hi,

We have recently been experiencing a partial black screen at the
ctrl-alt-del logon screen......whilst this is almost the ultimate Microsoft
security mechanism to stop people logging in it is also very inconvenient.

The server is an SMS Central Site Server that has been upgraded from Win2k
server to Win2k3 server and has worked for several months before
experiencing this problem. Also, to my knowledge, the problem didn't start
after applying a particular patch........

Anyone out there with similar a experience and knows how to fix it??

Thanking you in advance

Greg
