My user accounts appear twice on the welcome screen?!?!

As I said, my user accounts appear twice on the welcome screen, and when I
turn the guest account on, it appears twice as well. What do I do? How do I
get it back to normal?

Did you make it twice? - Also is it Administrator.

Start>Control panel>User Accounts>Check for multiple accounts

Re: My user accounts appear twice on the welcome screen?!?!

There are several users who have recently reported this problem. These users
all seem to have a couple of things in common.

They are using a system that has a Fingerprint Reader and they are all using
the Omnipass program.

Several users have solved the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the
Omnipass software.

You may need to contact the PC maker for instructions on reinstalling the
software.
