Unable to logon to Windows XP locally - No logon box

Hello.

I have an AD domain with one Windows 2000 server and one Windows 2003
server. Mostly Windows 2000 clients, some Windows XP clients. There is a
problem with 1 XP box.

When you boot the computer, the regular blue background comes up and the
mouse is visible and active, but there is no box that says "press
ctrl+alt+del to logon." I am however able to logon to the machine using
remote desktop.

I am getting a couple errors repeating in the event log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None

In Winlogon logging, I get the following error:

----Configure Registry Keys...
Configure machine\software.
Warning 1336: The access control list (ACL) structure is invalid.
Error setting security on machine\software\Licenses.

Configuration of Registry Keys was completed with one or more errors.

Any ideas??? I can't seem to figure this out.

Thanks!

Problem solved. It was actually a video card problem. I have 2 monitors on
this system. Duh.
