log on error

[Avelyn]

I'm 17, from the Philippines. I'm using Windows XP
Professional. I'm new to using Xp. Everytime I log on to
my computer w/ my account name and password I get this
error message saying that my computer has recovered from
a serious log on problem. When I removed my password,
that's when I never received the message again. But I
want to password protect my computer.... Is is possible
for me to solve this problem without reinstalling my
windows? If yes, how?

Start the operating system from the CD-ROM,

When the computer starts from the CD, the system checks your hardware

and then prompts you to select one of the following options:

To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER.

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.


Press ENTER.


Press F8 to accept the Licensing Agreement.

A box lists your current Windows XP installation, and then the system

prompts you to select one of the following options:

To repair the selected Windows XP installation, press R.

To continue installing a fresh copy of Windows XP without repairing, press ESC.

Press R to start the automatic repair process. After repairing Windows XP,

you may need re-download all updates.

It's a BIOS setting (enter 'setup' during bootup to change the CMOS setting for
that.e.g. "Press Del key for setup" message)
