Any way to disable LabVIEW 2009 Log In dialog?

LabVIEW 2009 is asking me to log in, with only one user. LabVIEW 8.6 did not do this. Is there a way to disable the dialog? Or is it standard behavior starting with 2009? It is a minor annoyance, but when drop through clicks are disabled, it is tricky to get this dialog to let me past.

Please see screenshots in the original post.

Hi iannicholson,

Check out this KnowledgeBase article below and see if it remedies your problem:

Jared,

Thanks. I only have two choices in this screen in my LabVIEW 2009 installation (see screenshot). I tried changing the setting and will restart in a little while to see if it fixed the problem.

Changing to Operating System user name stopped the log on dialog from appearing. Changing back to LabVIEW registration name brings it back.

I did notice that my LabVIEW splash screen says Unregistered, even though my information seems to be entered properly in the registry. I am trying a repair of LabVIEW to see if it helps...

The repair install didn't make a difference. For now I'm selecting Operating System user name so I don't have to login. But I suspect something else is wrong here.

Hi iannicholson,

At this point, other than the "Unregistered" message, are you seeing any other strange behavior with your software?

The article below describes some steps to go through to fix the problem:

Based on your previous comment about the registry looking fine, you may have already seen this article. 

If the repair didn't help, I would recommend that your perform a force reinstall.  Instructions on how to do this can be found here:
