    Compatibilty issue - winpoet and Nortel VPN client in Win2k pro

    It could be the version of the nortel client that you are using b/c winpoet/earthlink dsl and the nortel contivity client 4.15d can work together OR some other software / network setting on your pc. There is also a newer nortel client available, but we have not yet tested it where I work.

    Logging in But not all the way in

    If the above does not work you could try: If you have multiple users/logins (admin and user) try logging in with the other username or creating a new one and see if the problem still exists. Also check to see if the active desktop is enable, if it is disable the active desktop and use .bmp instead.

Anyone have any workarounds other than using the lock workstation tab or having to...

The Registry key you want to also look at, but you should see the same pgms in msconfig: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Also you could use Tweak XP or just do a...
