You said you tried safe mode. What about Last Known Good Configuration =
Mode?

By mistake, while trying to reconfigure some bootup and shut down =
problems I
changed the settings in the registry that now when I turn on my comp =
and log
in on my administrator user password the computer shuts down and =
reboots
again to the point where the user password is required for me to =
reenter my
password,
only to shut down and reboot by itself again...time and time =
repeatedly.
=20
I think know where the error lies, but can not access if because I can =
not
get
past my log in point.
=20
Even if I try loggin in through safe mode and using my disk to start =
up,
this problem
still occurs whenever windows boots up.
=20
However I don't have this problem using DOS after I insert my floppy =
boot
disk...so is there a way that I can
change my settings to the registry from DOS?
=20
Please e-mail me, because I don't see any info on this on the net or =
if it
is, I certainly don't understand it.
=20
Here is the problem -
=20
The registry settings in the bootup and shut down settings
=20
I believe they are located in the
hkusers/users/sofyware /microsoft/windows/current version/explorer =
shutdown
key.
=20
I know that I changed a hey value what was a 0 to a 1 when it =
shouldn't have
and now when I boot up, I get as far as logging in with my password =
and
then the system begins to bring up the desktop and automatically shuts =
down
and reboots to the Windows log in screen where I enter the password =
again
only to have the screen automatically shut down and boot back up to =
where I
enter the password and it shuts down again.
=20
EXAMPLE:
=20
I turn on the comp.
=20
I get my IBM screen
=20
Windows begins to load
=20
Login and Password screen comes up
=20
I type on password and hit return
=20
Windows shuts down and reboots to start all over.
=20
I can't start in safe mode. I can't start with cd and I don't know =
what to
look for when I am in dos or how to go about finding the registy from =
Dos.
=20
I have all my disks but I don't know what to type in at the c:\ prompt
becuase REGEDIT doesn't work and EDIT doesn't open anything.
