The R6 installer should have removed the R5 single logon service and accompanying ngina.dll, but maybe it didn't in this case. You may be able to neutralize it by carefully <placeholder for dire warnings here /> modifying the registry key that tells Windows to load gina. Look for one named GinaDLL with a value of ngina.dll under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. I know that's the right registry path for Win2K; should be the same for XP. If the GinaDLL key has any value other than ngina.dll (unlikely, from what you've written), leave it alone. Disabling other vendors' GINA DLLs (PointSec hard drive encryption, among others, uses GINA) may have nasty side-effects that are difficult to reverse.
