.net 1.1 problem with logon screensaver
In the company I work for, we use a custom built screensaver at the logon screen that displays html, this is used for advertising that can be updated on the fly, and shown on the screen when no one is logged in to the computer. The one we were
using on WinXP didnt work on Win7 so we had to write a new one, and got it working fine.
The issue we have now come across is that the screensaver works fine on Win7 clients that don't have .net 1.1 installed, whether a user is logged in or not. But on clients that do have .net 1.1 installed the screensaver doesn't work at the logon screen,
even though it does work when a user is logged in.
I have tried uninstalling .net 1.1, installing SP1 for .net 1.1, running the cleanup tool to completely remove .net 1.1 but the screensaver will still not run when no user is logged in. Is it possible the installation of .net 1.1 broke something within the
other .net installations? and even if it did why would the screensaver work fine when a user is logged in but not at the logon screen.
Any help or ideas? Thanks!

possible. That's why MS wrote that .net is completely unsupported on Windows 7:
.NET Framework 1.1 not supported on Windows 7 nor Windows Server 2008 R2
Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 is not supported on any version of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. While it may be possible to install .NET Framework 1.1 components on these operating systems, Microsoft will provide no level of support for
these configurations.
