Title: Windows stuck at Xp Login Screen.
Post by: Hopeless_child on April 16, 2009, 04:16:33 PM
*Please note i am not on the actual computer so i can't get any of the logs, i can't get past the login screen... is there any pre-boot disks or programs? lol i wish i knew the slightest bit about this*

Alright, quick summary, i was bit torrenting some music and somehow managed to pick up some crappy virus. Next thing i know all sorts of weird things are happening, things opening on their own, images wouldn't load, my screen saver 
was a white box. Every thing was ridiculously slow so i tried all the virus software i had on my computer nothing worked, it would find it and it would say cannot remove try again. I was refered to use Avast so i downloaded it ran it did the whole thing, i reboot the computer and now i get to the login screen and i choose my user name it says "loading user settings' it flashes the white box of a back ground then automatically returns to the login screen.... i tried safe mode, i tried return to earliest working settings, i tried every option in the menu no success... so i asked a few buddies at school they said just uninstall xp and re install tiny xp... so i have to install disk but i can't do anyhting becuase i can't get on the computer.... i must admit i don't have much computer knowledge so any thing helps...
thanks
