Re: Can't log in thru admin screen

You may (since it takes the password) be able to get to the Recovery Console prompt from a boot to the setup CD (press 'r' for repair at the first screen). If so, run the command:
LOGON

If no help, you may be able to re-expand the file winlogon.exe from the setup CD.
Something like:
D:/i386/expand.exe D:/i386/winlogon.ex_ %windir%/system32/winlogon.exe

Mark,
As I mentined I tried Safe mode, ALL categories. When in Safe mode Command
Prompt I'm asked to "Please select the operating system to start:". The only
option is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. When I select that it takes me
to the Admin login in screen and my troubles start all over again. I can't
log in as I'm immediately logged out. It does load my 'preferences' then
immediately logs me out. It doesn't matter if I'm in safe mode or normal
mode. I even tried to load from the "D: drive with the "Application and
Driver Recovery DVD". I also tried to reload XP from the D drive but can't
get past the admin login page.
