I lost my logon screen

That's strange.

Maybe all your users are hidden?  Not sure.

Ctrl+Alt+Del logon still works though, right?

I'm the only user. 

The problem again is after rebooting from safe mode I get the boot up screen but no logon screen, just gives me a black screen.

you have show the welcome checked in user accounts area, yes?

when it comes up black, what happens if you hit ctrl+alt+del twice?

does the default logon show?

Okay I am back and with a very red face I might add.

My problem was all due to being to quick to download Deskscape without reading all of the posts in the forum. 

I have an AGP card. and it just messed up my system something bad.  I had to reboot into safe mode and restore back to Tuesday.  That went okay, but when I rebooted back into normal mode I had no logon screen, just a nice blank screen, no cursor no nothing.  Went back into safe mode and had a logon screen which really confused me.  Got into logonstudion and changed back to default with no problem.  Still no logon screen in normal mode.  Even doing the ctrl+alt+del didn't work.

Well to make a long story short, if you have an AGP card downloading and running Deskscapes right now screws up your video card drivers.  Don't panic, as I did, but just boot back into safe mode and reload your video card drivers and all will be well.

I quess what they say is true, there isn't a day in your life that you don't learn something.   I thought once I retired I would be done with all of that. 

Glad you got it all worked out Philly.
