Need On Screen Keyboard to Come Up At Log In Screen
We have an XP SP3 system that is fully updated and attached to it a 15" ELO Touchscreen monitor. We are needing to be able to log in to our network with the touchscreen and no keyboard attached. If any other information is needed please let me know. Thank you in advance for help you might be able to lend us...

That does help some, however the main issue that we are having is that we cannot get the on screen keyboard to work at both the log in screen and then after you log in in the OS. We have used OSKGina to get it to work at the log in but then we were unable to get it to work within the OS. Thank you for the response though.
forget my post! soz did not read your comment!

Thank you for the link, we just tried OSKGINA and to no avail, it disables the OSK within the OS therefore giving us fits. We need something that will allow us to use it at the login screen as well as within the OS. Thank you for your time and effort though...

Select OK twice
Still in Group Policy, go to:

on the right pane, select Run startup scripts synchronously
double click on this option
change to Enabled (This will make sure the logon process will continue even though the script has not ended).

Put any other access tools into the startup folder as normal

We tried this and we were unsucessful. However, we did use the Windows Key + U and enabled OSK in all three options and also installed IBM Touchboard software and that worked...
