Title: Box with unicode characters before the welcome...
Post by: HelmutBlack on January 25, 2006, 10:23:22 PM

Hi all,

I don't know what I did to arrive with this problem, but when I log on now, before the welcome screen and log in names, I'm greeted with a text box and an ok button on it.  I believe the characters on the title bar and inside the box are unicode characters.  You have to click ok, and then you can get to the users screen.  I don't know how to get rid of this.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

If you would click on the Self Help link below and try out the on-line scanner that could help you, and if you care to scroll down the page there are some freeware anti-virus and anti-Trojan programs which could help too.
