Hi guys,
Am really hoping someone can help me this as its doing my head in!!
I have been working on a friends daughters laptop as it was chock full of viruses, spyware, ad/malware etc. I finally managed to disinfect XP and it seemed to be running fine. Now when the machine boots up, XP loads and I get the Welcome screen. When I then click on the users name to logon, I see the desktop momentarily and I am then kicked back to the Welcome screen which displays the Logging Off message. It literally logs on and then logs off within about 2 seconds! I cannot get past this.
I have tried logging on as Administrator but get exactly the same problem.
I have also tried booting in Safe Mode and still get the same problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions for solving this probem or am I looking at a complete reinstallation of XP?? Typically its a cheap Acer laptop which apparently came with no recovery disks, XP disk etc.
If anyone can help I would be extremely grateful.
