Please don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS, IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO READ YOUR POST!

Awgina.dll is a component of PCAnywhere. I guess you need to decide what you
need more; PCAnywhere or the new welcome screen.

One question - why do you say that you've got no security from other users?
The "traditional" logon screen should be at least as, if not more, secure
than the Welcome screen assuming you've set a password for every account
(which you should do anyway).
