    cant log on to windows account
    « on: January 06, 2010, 12:31:42 PM »
    i cant get the computer to log on to my account on windows xp home. i dont normally even see the logon screen when i turn the computer on it just logs on its self and doesn't have a password. when i click it to log on its starts to log on and makes the chime noise but it just logs right out again and never even get to see the background. I dont know how this happened i didnt restart it when this happened it was on the screen saver and when i went to use the computer it was on the log on screen. I've tried restarting it and unpluging it still the same. i would really appreciate it if anyone would help me thanks

              That wouldn't work because i cant log in to any admin accounts in order to make a new one. but i tried it anyways and booted in safe mode and in safe mode another account comes up and is named administrator but when i click on it does the same exact thing that my profile does. so is there any other way to get around that?

                Microsoft.....

                Or better yet the place where you got the computer. They should have given you a copy.
