For last 2 years, home edition has displayed 4 user accounts when XP starts.
All of a sudden, the blue screen appears asking me to select an account but
no account icons display. Have tried safe mode but none show. If I can't get
past that screen, I can't access anything on computer.
Here's a post from Microsoft that exactly describes the problem (except no
accounts display in my case) but if no account icons display, I'm dead unless
you have some trick to getting me past the blue screen. My ID account was set
as the Administrator but now wonder if it's been reset to a regular account.
Any suggestions? Many thanks,
Charlie

SUMMARY
When you start a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer in Safe mode, if you
have the Welcome Screen enabled, not all user accounts are displayed on the
Welcome Screen.
MORE INFORMATION
User accounts that do not have administrative privileges are not listed on
the Welcome Screen. Users with Standard or Limited account types do not have
access to start in Safe mode.
Log on with an account that has administrative rights, perform the necessary
maintenance. After that, start the computer normally, not in Safe mode, and
you can log on with any user account.
