Duplicate User Accounts appear in the Welcome Screen in Windows Vista

The Welcome Screen in your Windows Vista computer may show duplicate icons for each user account in the system. This problem may have surfaced after installing a Microsoft Update or Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

This issue is caused by certain versions of OmniPass Fingerprint Reader software, from Softex Incorporated. Softex Inc offers a fix for this problem, and it’s available at the following URL:

The software fixes the setting in the Credential Providers registry key.

Note: Please contact Softex Inc support to know if there are any latest fixes for this problem, or if they have any product updates for the Omnipass Fingerprint Reader software.
