Guest AlC Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 When I try to logon, Windows XP loads my settings and then automatically logs me off. It does this with all the profiles on my computer. -- Al C

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: cannot logon Fine. What about the recent history of the machine?

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: cannot logon We all know that things do not happen by themselves. If you were able to log on yesterday but can no longer log on today then something has changed in your machine. It is this change I need to know about. In most cases with this problem it is some disk manipulation, perhaps involving an disk imaging program such as Ghost or Acronis. It could also be caused by a malware infection. Knowing about these things avoids playing guessing games, for which I have neither the time nor patience.

Guest AlC Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: cannot logon I installed and ran dr. spyware last night and removed approximately 1200 spyware files.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: cannot logon I see. I do not know this product but I wonder if its side effect might not be worse than the benefit it offers. If this was my machine then I would uninstall it as soon as the logon problem was resolved. Your first job is to find out the current system drive letter of the problem machine. It should be C:. Here is how you can do it from a networked machine: - Log on as administrator. - Click Start / Run / cmd {OK} - Type this command: psexec \\YourProblemPC cmd What drive letter do you see? You can download psexec.exe from http://www.sysinternals.com.

I was wondering if you have failed to validate your Windows but went to Update, & MS turned off your OS. But that seems unlikely.
