Immortal 0 Posted December 21, 2003 Hey all, I got a Dual Boot setup with XP and 2003 on different partitions, but whenever i try to logon with 2003 it does the following: 1)I type the password in 2) Starts to logon 3)Loads background (default blue) 4) plays widnows sound thats all it does. I can access TaskManager by ctrl-alt-dlt and look at the services but thats about it. Im thinking its something to do with explorer not working. Ive re-installed it 4 times, same result each time. The first time i logon it wokrs fine after every install, its the consecutive logons that fail. The thing is, if i mess around with taskmanager and remove some of the SVCHOST processes (theres around 8 ) it will continue to logon. It also logs on fine in safe mode. Im thinking theres a specific service possibly SVCHOST but im not sure, stopping it from loading explorer or something. But i dont know how to find it and disable it. Your Help would be greatley appreciated! Immortal Share this post Link to post
Immortal 0 Posted December 22, 2003 Well, ive fixed the problem. Its probbaly the stupidest workaround ever. All i have to do is leave a CD in the drive so that Windows detects the CD-RW... stupid. Share this post Link to post
