Hi,

I see the same problem with SP3 as well, and the annoying thing is
there's no way to remove the KB that causes it, since it's now part of
the service pack.

Logging on to an operating system should be possible, no?

Cheers,
Alan

SP3 IS a service pack ; add/remove , uninstall .

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, I understand that SP3 means Service Pack 3. My point was that I
can't now remove the individual KB that (allegedly) causes this problem,
I'd have to remove the complete service pack, as you suggest.

If I do remove SP3, I'd then have to install all the KBs individually,
which would be time-consuming.

I've reported this issue to MS, I'll post here if they get back to me
with any solution.

Cheers,
Alan

Type (or cut and paste) the following in the “Run” box

C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB923191$\spuninst

Once the folder window opens, double click the spuinist icon ( one with
PC and box ) and the update will uninstall.
From here on out users should be able to type login passwords into the
welcome screen without any trouble.

Good Luck!

Unfortunately, this problem is *not* fixed in SP3. I'm still seeing this
issue on XP Home after successful SP3 installation.

I strongly suspect "fixed -in- SP3" does not mean "fixed -by- SP3," but
rather that the version of this update that's bundled into in SP3 does
not itself cause the same problem, so that if you have not installed it
before but now install SP3 you should be OK.

I've uninstalled the original KB923191 as advised by Mike and others,
well after installing SP3, and the fix seems to work as to the login
password box; now let's see if doing so broke any of the things the
original KB923191 was related to and I have to reinstall SP3.
