sp2 lock up problem
I have a Dell 4400, running with windows Xp. I have tried updating sp2
several times. After up dating everything looks good for a week or two. I shut my computer down each night. Problem: I turn on my computer it starts booting up then it stops and ask me to select a user name ..... B U T ...... there is no user name to select from. I tried doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del and a window pops up with my user name and wants a password ........... I have no idea what the password is, I have never assigned a password, to log on to my computer. What I end up doing is install my Windows Xp into a new and different folder so I can back and save some of my files. I then do a format and start over, reload all my software's. I updated to sp1 and run my computer for a couple of months, with no problems. I decided to give Sp2 and try again then the same problem popped up. I the reformatted and started over again. I've done this 3 times and had the same problem. I now haves SP1a loaded in and I'm not planning on updating to sp2 until I know what is causing this problem. This problem only happens after I update to sp2 and a week or so later the problem pops up. .........ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. George |
