OK this may be a nit for some folks but after installing Crysis my
automatic logon has stopped working in XP. I'm the only one using this
machine and now have to select my id from the logon screen... WTF. I
saw an append that said from Run type 'control userpasswords2' and I
should be able to set my id to just logon bypassing the selection
screen. Hmm, didn't see where select this in the screens presented .
Help!

TIA _Fred


Download Tweakui from Microsoft. It allows you to enable Autologon.

Thanks QV, that worked. I had Tweakui but didn't think to look there for
a fix. I wondered what about the Crysis install caused this to mess up.
I knew something was already a problem when in my PD, either Crysis or
the Gamespy add-on had installed .Net Framework 1.1... I've been running
NFf 2.0 for my ATI card and never loaded 1.1 or 3.0...

Spoke to soon... It worked for the first reboot only. Checking in Tweakui
showed that the autologon box was again unchecked. I verified the
consistency of this by checking the box and rebooting. Sure enough it
worked but in looking at Tweakui again the box was now unchecked again. Any
other suggestions appreciated.
