Greets,
Has anyone come across the ability to log into Safemode(any type) yet have login issues when logging into XP from either login -- initial login screen or old win2k/NT 'crtl-alt-dlt'?? I recently uninstalled 2003 Norton Internet Security from my system, to find that when I log into XP, it says my password is incorrect for any acct...mind you I had the system set to boot into the desktop. I used the old win2k/NT login to find that it doesn't like the handle, for any 3 of the accts listed. This includes Admin, Guest, and my personal. I can boot into safemode and everything is hunky-dory. I've tried sys restore to no avail. Obviously I have no clue to why it is letting me log in to safemode but not XP. Is it possible there is a driver corrupt that safemode is eliminating? Any possible viri/spyware/adware, et al, floating around that have this m-o?
It's not a huge deal since I have the ability to grab the info off the hd that I need, but would rather find out what the problem is and surpass the bother of reformatting.
Any ideas are much appreciated!
