Problems starting my Dell laptop with Windows Xp

[dpinto112]

Whenever i try to start my computer i get to the user accounts screen but when I try to log on to my account, my computer immediatly logs out and im back at the user account screen. This problem started right after i had completed an antispyware scan because i had to restart my computer after the scan. When I try to log in i see a few seconds of my backround picture but no icons or task bar and then it logs out. Please help

will all of my files be lost?

[JJ 3000]

no

[dpinto112]

do i have to use that burner or can i use another one like nero

[Broni]

You have to use burning program, which will make CD bootable. ImgBurn is very simple program, and it does just that.

[JJ 3000]

Nero can burn ISOs

Good news: I found a windows xp cd Bad News: the process didnt help my problem... Im thinking that my computers infected with some sort fo spyware thats preventing me from signing on

Infection is always possible, but even if it's the case, you need to get to Windows one way, or another, if malware cleaning is necessary.
