XP Pro & logon screen
I was trying tweaks & tips for XP Pro. I tried one tip that I thought would
clear away the need to sign on each time I start my laptop. Now when I try to sign on after re-boot, I am asked for my password; when entered, it comes back that the account has been disabled and I cannot get onto the system. It says contact the adminsitrator. But I can't get passed the logon screen in any way. Any help would be appreciated. |

Hi
Can you boot into Safe Mode and try a System Restore back to a point before you used that program? -- Will Denny MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "PMF" wrote in message ...

Hi
You'll have to try a 'Repair' install of XP, if none of the Options you have tried so far, work. Have a look at the following article by Michael Stevens: "How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install" http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm -- Will Denny MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "PMF" wrote in message ...

No - I've tried Administrator, Guest and the user name - nothing will take me
beyond the login screen. "DanS" wrote: =?Utf-8?B?UE1G?= wrote in : Hello - No, even in safe mode I cannot get past the logon screen. Error message says that user has been deleted.

You can't even boot into Safe Mode and select the 'Administrator' User
account? If you can, Log in that way and use system restore to see if that will fix your problem. If that doesn't, when you are starting your computer, instead of selecting 'Safe Mode' select, "Use last know good configuration". See if that helps any. ~Saavedro "DanS" wrote in message ... =?Utf-8?B?UE1G?= wrote in : Hello - No, even in safe mode I cannot get past the logon screen.

Thanks to all for the replies.
I ended up doing a clean install of XP Pro, & that fixed it P-) "Saavedro" wrote: You can't even boot into Safe Mode and select the 'Administrator' User account?
