When I try to log into my wife's PC using any of the user accounts, itloads
the desktop and then logs back off. This happens in safe mode also.abd
I cannot use system restore since I can't log into the PC.
I downloaded AVG anti-virus 7.0 and when it asked me to reboot thats when
the problem started.
I used recovery commander to disable the AVG files but that did not work
either.
I am running XP home with no service packs. The machine is used and had XP
home on it when we bought it. We have been running it for about 2 years
the only issues we have had was when I tried to download SP1 and SP2 itsaid
that I needed the product key. I did not get the product key when webought
it (pawn shop).with
I have loaded AVG onto several PCs without any problems, including ones
questionable OS heritage.
Please help, has this the main family PC and the kids can't do their
homework and my wife can't play her music or pics.
Thanx, Joe
You have two problems: One serious, the other not so serious.
The serious problem is the lack of a product key. It's much the
same as buying a car without keys. Unless you get a valid
product key, you can expect ongoing problems. The program
"keyfinder.exe" (http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml)
might or might not tell you your product key.
The less serious problem is your inability to log on. It is usually
caused by a change in the system drive letter: Instead of C: it
might now be D: or E:. The cure depends on your facilities:
- This is a networked PC (easy to fix).
- You have access to another desktop PC that runs WinXP/2000
(somewhat less easy to fix).
- None of the above (hard to fix).
As a starting move you can boot the the machine with your
WinXP installation CD, select Repair when prompted, then
select Recovery Console. Now run the command fixmbr.
This will sometimes fix the problem.
