restoring welcome screen/fast user switching

I turned off the welcome screen and fast user switching via unchecking the
"use the welcome screen" and "use fast user switching."

NOW I CAN'T TURN IT BACK ON!

When I click on "change the way user log on," I get:

"A recently installed program has disabled the welcome screen and fast user
switching. To restore....you must uninstall....the following file may
help....vrlogon.dll."

How do I reverse this process? BTW, "system restore" was turned off, so
this option is not available.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jim,

vrlogon.dll appears to be related to an integrated FingerPrint Reader. If
this error is occurring on a Lenovo Thinkpad, see if the information here
helps resolve the problem:
