I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Scenic workstations with Fujitsu-Siemens USB Smart Card reader installed. Smart card readers stops reading smart cards when they are not used for several days, and the option to log on using smart card in Windows XP Pro SP1 disappears from log on screen. Did anyone had this problem? How didi you solve it.

You may be able to solve your problem by disconnecting and uninstalling the card reader. (1) Shut down the system for about 30 seconds, reconnect the USB and any software, shut down the system again. If you can use the reader and everything is okay; check it again in about three to four days. (2) If it dissapears after three perform the uninstall again, but before reinstalling go into your registry and delete all instances of the reader. If you know how to edit the registry go to your HKey Local Machine + Software + Microsoft + Crytography. Just delete the Schulemberg folders. Good Luck.

The problem was with the sycrypt software which has to be installed on FSC computers with smartcard readers. Thanks anyway.
