I tried that. This is a small box that comes on as soon as the computer is turned on. Before the welcome screen or anything else loads. As soon as I click ok on it then it loads thw Welcome screen with the user accounts. The message is: The system could not log you on. Make sure your Username and Domain are correct,then type your password again. I just click OK and the Welcome screen loads and I sign in from there. Its just annoying...
