    Okay...so I got a new LG R500 two days ago :)D) but when I made my account name for the first time, the log on screen had two of the same user (the first). To make sure this applied for all users, I made another one called 'other', and it happened again. So, the order on the log on screen looks like:

    'User' 'Other' 'User' 'Other'

    Is this just some random setting that might've happened, or a bug? All answers appreciated :)

    You can manage the user accounts through control panel>User Accounts and Family Safe>User accounts.

    I apologize in advance if this is not what you're asking for.

    Ah I've tried going into user account settings, but it only shows one of each account, while as the logon screen has two of each. Thanks anyways though :)

    weird... I believe I read a post about the exact same problem a while ago. Perhaps you can search the forum and see what you can come up with.

    I've got a lead after couple minutes of googling - it seems to have happened to alot of people with a fingerprint reader program (OmniPass) and a vista hotfix. Seems to correspond to each other and the OmniPass leads into mismanagement of profiles...I'll try uninstalling and reboot.

    EDIT: Seem to have worked. It seems the OmniPass was acting oddly to a vista update...so if you want, you can close this thread :)
