I have an offsite user who turned on her computer this morning. It booted up
to the CTRL-ALT-Delete Screen. As soon as she pressed the CTRL-ALT-Delete
the system said it was preparing to go into standby. The screen then goes
black.
I have had her power down completely. We unplugged all cables then plugged
them back in. We tried pressing the power button to come out of standby but
the CTRL-ALT-Delete screen reappears and puts her back in standy.
I also tried getting her into Safe Mode with F8 several times but the system
kept going back to the CTRL-ALT-Delete screen.
The system is a 3 year old Dell Optiplex running XP Pro with SP2 with 256K
of memory. It worked fine up until this morning.
I've searched the KB extensively and could not find any examples of this
happening.
Suggestions?
