Re: Rats, 884573 n/a to WINXP Home! "Access dened"

Nepatsfan -

Thanks for the suggestion.
I made a checkpoint and followed your directions.
When it rebooted, the following occurred:
- Froze at the 'Windows is starting up..." screen.
- I pressed reset and it rebooted.
- Error message appeared: "One of your discs needs to be checked for
consistency...". and the check proceedes
- Screen message appears: "System could not log you on, make sure
username and domain are ...."
- Press 'OK"
- The "To begin, click username" screen appears.

The original scheduler problem was unresolved.

I restored to the checkpoint.

Any suggestions are appreciated. - Mike
