Vista - Logon screen has my picture twice

I have a lenovo 3000 N100 laptop with Vista Home Basic preinstalled. I don't
know what happened, but when the logon screen appears it shows my user icon
twice. There is only one user account.

Furthermore, if I create another user, the icon of that user then also
appears twice, thus having a total of 4 user icons on the logon screen. This
repeats for any additional user....

Any idea on what is going on?

Thanks,
Nicos Antoniou

I have the same problem. I began to see duplicate user accounts on the log-on
screen for Vista following a boot problem which caused the system to run a
disk-check. I have Vista Home Premium and also have omnipass software and a
fingerprint scanner which may be related.
The user account controls only display one of each account, but they are
each shown twice on the log-in screen.
Also, if I select Switch-User from the start menu or lock the computer, both
versions of the account are shown on the 'locked' screen and if either are
selected the picture for the account is displayed with the usual Password box
but the button below says "Show other credentials".

Anyone know what's going on?

Since this bug has occured following a system restore, I understandably don't
want to revert. One thing I have also noticed is that the profiles are not
duplicated in safe mode.

- dude, use the vista disc to access the winRE, and you can try a ¨Startup repair¨ Introducing Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) - KezNews.com)
- if not,backup your files and reinstall the OS. thats the best option.

I also have this logonproblem. How many of you guys have the omnipass
fingerprint program? That may very well be the key ...

Hi again,

after uninstallning my omnipass program, performing a few re-boots and
installning my Omipass program again everything seems to have solved itself.
Apparently it was some sort of mismanagment of the Omnipass program and a
Vista update.

I am new to this site and I have a new Lenovo computer which has had lots of
problems, including what you just wrote about. My happened after installing
Wondows Home and Student. Refer to my post of 10-1. Considering the other
problems I have had, is this that big of a deal? I am not willing to take
too many risks.

Where did you find the Omni software to re-install? Can't find it anywhere...
