C# is dependent on the .net runtime. I'm not sure if the .net runtime is loaded before or after the XP login screen appears, but your problem maybe the fact that the .net runtime (clr) isn't loaded when your trying to run your app. I would suggest re-writing the app in C/C++ and compiling to exe that can be loaded before the login screen (at least that portion of the app that needs to be loaded).
