2169.0. "DEC logo doesn't disappear" by DSM::CRAIG (Nice computers don't go down :-)) Tue Jan 30 1990 13:54

    We recently upgraded to SDC VMS V5.2 and DECwindows V2.  The first time
    a user logs onto a workstation, the DEC logo and login dialog box don't
    disappear!  To make them disappear, the user has to log off, and then
    log back on again.
    
    Any clues as to the cause of this behavior?

2169.1Which version did you say?STAR::VATNEPeter Vatne, VMS DevelopmentTue Jan 30 1990 14:086
DECwindows V2 only comes with VMS V5.3.  If you have upgraded to VMS V5.2,
then you actually are running DECwindows V1 with some bug fixes.

What you describe is a common problem.  Edit your SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file
and delete the line that says "@SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP".  This is
documented in the VMS installation guide.
