This seems like it should be a simple issue but I can't find any information through search that applies directly. This is not an issue that keeps me from logging on but it is perplexing and has persisted for so long that I don't remember if it was ever not so.

To the issue: I am using XP with all the updates.  This is home office computer so I don't have password set to log on. When I turn on my computer I get the log on screen with this MESSAGE in a window over the TOP of the log on window: "The system could not log you on. Make sure user and domains are correct then type password again. Letter in password must be typed in the correct case."  The window has OK as choice.  When I click OK, log on proceeds and windows loads.

As I said this does not keep me from using windows XP but am wondering if this is NORMAL for this message to come up. If a password is not set for log on why doesn't windows just start up without this message.

Not earth shaking issue but if anyone can shed some light on it I would appreciate.

Thanks
Download Tweak UI 2.1.
Install it, then:  Under Logon---Autologon, check logon automaticallyThanks, I will give it a try. I tried it and there was no change in log on window.  I did not provide a user name or password since I don't want to restrict log on for this computer.  Is that necessary for logging on automatically?You cannot log on without a user name, but you don't need a password.  Left-click Start to see the current user name.Yes, I see my user name.  But nothing has changed in the log in screen. Still getting the same can't log you on error message as before. Tweak UI doesn't seem to have had any effect.  One thing interesting happened the next time I logged on.  My background picture did not come up and my desk top did not have the same icons as before. Also the launch bar was not WORKING. I used system RESTORE to get back to proper log in.

Looks like I will just have to live with it.

Thanks for your help.Something got corrupted with your logon.  Create a new one (with new user name) and set it up the way you want.
