Have to log in to XP twice

[freddiej]

One of the machines at work is causing a problem as you have to log in twice each morning.
Have checked all startup processes/scripts, done a full rebuild of machine but still getting same problem. Happens whoever logs in so assuming it's maybe a hardware/drivers fault

Anybody have any ideas?

Have you scanned for viruses and malware?

Does that happen if you log in as administrator in safe mode?

Thanks for the response. Got it sorted.

It was down to the recent change of graphics card and not removing all previously installed software.

Stopped ATI hotkey from start up and now logs in normally
