Can't login to Windows XP Professional

[PJC1966 0]

My computer has automatically created a login (User) as I didn't have to login before. Each time my computer boots it gives me the window login screen. If I click the (User) Icon it goes to login the automatically logs of again back to the same window.

 

I've tried, F8 (All types of boots), Ctrl+Alt+Del x 2, Guest login, nothing seems to work.

 

Any suggestions to overide or delete the login process that has been created.

 

Thanks, Peter.

Sounds like you have a corrupted registry/profile. Do you have any other accounts on this PC thru which you could gain access?

If you can get to another computer that uses XP, copy the file: userinit.exe to a floppy (it should be in Windows\System32. Then, pull out your System CD and boot from the CD to bring up the repair console. (Choose Option 1) then copy the userinit file to C:\ typing the following:

copy a:\userinit.exe c:\windows\system32\wsaupdater.exe

Restart. This should let you then log in.
