Not allowed to enter passwords

[marko2002]

Guys,

searched the forum for this one, alas to no avail though apologies if it is hidden away somewhere!.

The problem I am having at the moment is a strange one, though I can only assume it has something either to do with my reg entries or with the exclusion of certain files at the outset of my making my XPCD.

After the XPCD has installed on a workstation it auto logs on without a problem each an every time you restart, although after creating a few users and applying passwords to these accounts the system will then randomly refuse to allow a password to be entered into the password box. Those accounts which have no passwords applied to them can log on without any problem, and this problem only applies to those accounts with passwords.

As I say, this happens randomly, although once it does happen it applies to ALL password protected accounts and can only be rectified by logging on, then off using an account without a password or restarting the machine itself. You can then log on to a password protected account until the next time this issue occurs.

It is driving me absolutely crazy and I've googled the problem without any luck also . . . please help!!!.

Here's my Regtweaks file . . .

(See download at bottom)

and here's my WINNT.SIF file . . . .

Guys,

forget my RegTweaks file above, as I had started another disc from scratch and excluded all regtweaks, though the problem was still there!!!.

I even created a second disc, integrating only the RVMUpdatePack2.0.5 using Nlite, and this worked OK without any password problems at all. Usually I make other tweaks using Nlite but I refrained this time to see if the problem persisted, and it didn't therefore I can only assume that Nlite is causing the problem somehow, but HOW?????.

I know the obvious answer to this could be in what I am configuring through Nlite, but honestly there are no magic buttons I have access to that anyone else doesn't - and this is why I cant understand why no-one else seems to be having similar issues!!.

I throw myself at your mercy for any suggestions pllllleeeeeeease

***EDIT***

Just realised this guy seems to be having the same issue, although it is most definately NOT my keyboard, I've tried the discs on various computers with the same results and currently using VMWare to test!!!!.

Arrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
