My account list has disappeared from the startup screen
When I restart, the XP startup screen appears but my account does not show
up. I need to hit CTL ALT DEL twice, then I get a popup with my account and I can login. Once in, if I go to the control panel and open user accounts, I get an error message saying "existing account not recognized" Everything was working fine. I checked the registry regarding as shown in other account problem post and can't locate the problem. AAAAGGGGG! please help -- Mnjoe |
