have a strange situation that i cannot resolve. I have
looked for a few hours over all available news groups and
support forums I could find. The problem is as follows:
Windows boots cleanly, presents a log in screen
the loging screen accepts the user name and password and
seemingly proceeds to log in.
After it says loading settings, it does not continue to
explorer shell, but in the same window goes to saving
settings then "logging off"
after logging off it returns me to the press cntrl + alt
+ delete box to login. Logging in again results in the
same cyle I just described. The same cycle takes place in
safe mode. More over I do not even have time between the
login and log off to use cntrl + alt + delete to get to
task manager and start explorer.
From another computer, this computer is completely
accessable. All directories and files are viewable, but I
cannot use remote desktop to start a session either.
From looking at other newsgroups I have also checked some
other things in the registry. explorer.exe is listed as
the shell registry key value
(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell). I have also looked at
the run and the run once keys to ensure that no seemingly
nefarious programs were running and did not see anything.
Also checked to see if shutdown.exe was being invoked on
startup and did not find that to be the case either.
How do I proceed from here?
