Desktop does not appear - asking for a password
« on: August 03, 2010, 10:35:43 AM »
My daughter's Gateway 700X, running XP, will not finish startup and display the desktop.  Instead, she gets a running list of things (commands?) then it asks for a password.  We think this is most likely caused by her daughter clicking on something in MySpace.  She has all of the disks that came with the PC, all systems update packages have been installed.  She runs Norton 2010 but does not have a disk - downloaded from internet.  Have heard in last few days several others have same problem & they think it is from MySpace.

Anyone know of this?
