Re: Log on Help

Bill,

Sorry, you need to check 'Users must enter a user name & password to use
this computer', go figure. I'm the only user on my computer so I have a
feeling the log on sequence might be different if you have multiple users.

Bill,

* Log in as the administrator
* click Start > Run > type control userpasswords2 and click OK
* uncheck 'Users must enter a user name & password to use this computer',
click OK
* Restart computer

Hopefully, your computer will auto log on at restart. Good Luck.

Thanks for the answer, Drew. Tried your suggestion but got the same log
on problem. Looks like I'll have ti go into the registry and that scares
me to death.
Thanks

Bill,

Have you tried the 'Last Known Good Configuration' option?

* Start the computer > continually press F8 > Windows Advanced Options
menu should appear
* Using the arrow keys, select 'Last Known Good Configuration' > Enter
* If a Boot menu appears > using the arrow keys, select your OS
(Microsoft Windows XP) > click Enter

My PC refuses to log on (I'm on my notebook now). I have XP SP 2 When I
try to log on it asks for my password I enter the password ,hit enter
it says its getting my settings screen flickers it says loogging off
and then it asks for the password again. I got in on safe mode and
tried some previous restore points . The restoration seemed to be fine
but the log on did the same thing. I suspect MS defender which I
installed 2 days ago but I can't get in to uninstall it. Where do I go
from here? I appreciate any help you can give . ( I do have admin
priv.) Thanks
Bill
