Guest SteveP Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I hope that someone can help me with this, When I go to logon to WinXP everything is fine - I have the user logon box and when I put my name and password in it will act normal for about 30 seconds - then it says " logging out of Windows " and go back to the logon screen... Any Ideas? Thank you Steve
Guest C J. Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: Unable to logon to WinXP Pro Steve, You could try logging onto the built in "administrator" account in the same manner, and see if using that account does the same thing. By default - Administrator has no password unless one has been set. Also, have you tried logging onto the problem account in Safe Mode. If you're sucessful and are able to log into Administrator... then the userprofile for your regular account could have somehow become corrupted. Let us know.

What is the recent history of this machine? Is it networked?
Guest Kelly Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: Unable to logon to WinXP Pro Error Message: Windows Cannot Load Your Profile Because It May Be Corrupted http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q318011 Suggestions: Right click My Computer, Properties, Hardware, Device Manager. Locate the entries for your hard disks and double click each entry. On the Policies tab, uncheck Enable write caching. You will see a performance decrease because of this, but if the corrupt registry/user profiles problems cease, then you'll be certain of the cause. Logon to another account with admin privilege and run System Restore. Choose the most recent restore point and SR should restore the user hives. Or... Boot into safe mode and log in as Administrator. Copy ntuser.dat from %windir%\repair to "Documents and Settings\[your user id]". Now do a system restore to a point in time prior to when the corruption message began to appear. Or... Relocate NTUserdat Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and find the profile you want to change and then change ProfileImagePath to the ntuser.dat folder that you want to use. You must manually copy or move the ntuser.dat file there.

Guest SteveP Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Re: Unable to logon to WinXP Pro i did recently image the drive. I used Ghost 9 and it made me image the individual partitions ( 2 of them ) rather then imaging the whole drive like I wanted. I have tried logging into all of the accounts on the system - all act the same way. Thank you for your help.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Re: Unable to logon to WinXP Pro Your problem is exactly the same as the one described in the post "XP pc logs in then out again", posted in this newsgroup about 33 hours ago.
