If I use XP new Login screen then only I will get the Vista Login screen..??I have tried changing the welcome screen from the control panel..but everytime it says that

"Client Services for Netware has disabled the Welcome screen and Fast User Switching. To restore these features , you must uninstall Client Services for Netware."

What are these features and how to remove this ??Will it cause any problem to the system ??

I have tried this..i.e unchecking the Netware clients both in Local Area Connection as well as the dialer for the BB..but again when I click on "change the way the user logs in or log off " through User Accounts in Control Panel..I am getting the same pop up..window..displaying the same message..

Hey buddy, After unchecking the option ........did u restart ur Pc...........
Or
Try to uninstall it from Start > Run > appwiz.cpl {Press Enter} (Add-Remove Option)

Note:Novel Client services are used for logging on to a Netware network (the Windows Logon can be used to login to Netware but it offers limited features. With Novell client you can use Novell Printers and Groupwise ).

Through Add Remove Option I didn't find the Novel Client to be uninstalled ??

Is that any update provided through Microsoft because after some updates the login screen changed to the classic one from the New Xp welcome screen..long way back..

or Can I uninstall it safely through the each connection ..checking it and uninstalling it from there..

Hey buddy,
Instead of unchecking the Net Ware try to unistall it from the button "UNINSTALL" given below..........

yeah i was also saying the same..I mean that unchecking all the other except the Netware Clients and then Uninstall it through the Uninstall button..
