Months ago, I accidentally turned on the On Screen keyboard through the Ease of Access menu at Windows XP Log on.

Now, every time I log into windows, the whole system loads windows very slowly, then the on screen keyboard pops up.

I’ve gone back into EoA and the box next to On Screen Keyboard is not checked. I’ve searched the internet for answers, but nothing really seems to provide a conclusive fix.

Any ideas?
