I made the mistake of trying microsoft autoruns utility this morning,
withnot so good results. Thinking (This is the problem (THINKING) that i
knew what was going on I unchecked a bunch of stuff. Now I can't get to
the system restore to undo the mess I made.
I'm running XP Pro SP3. I trun on the pc and it askes for a logon and
password, never done that before. I put in my username which is already
listed no password and click ok. It boots to the desktop, but before it
can load any icons it shuts down and again askes for my logon. I can do
this till doomesday comes.
Here is my question, How can I get past this logon issue and set my pc
back
to an earleir time. Thanks of any help Larry
Some things to try:
1. Try Last Known Good Configuration. Repeatedly tap F8 as the computer is
starting to get to that menu. Use your arrow key to select LKGC.
2. See if you can get into the built-in Administrator account. In the logon
box, enter Administrator and whatever password you originally assigned. If
you didn't assign a password, then leave it blank. If you can, run System
Restore.
3. If neither of those things works, try enabling some of the services you
disabled from the Recovery Console. Boot the computer with your XP install
disk and choose "R" to start the Recovery Console.
Using the Recovery Console - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654/
The Recovery Console will want the password for the built-in Administrator
account.
4. Or you could try a Repair Install.

How-To
In any case, if you have important data on the drive that you haven't backed
up, I'd pull the drive and either put it in an external USB enclosure or
slave it in a working machine and retrieve the data first.
