Hi. I'm booting up, log in with normal username and
password under XP Home, Windows starts loading drivers but
then suddenly it logs me off, returning me to the log on
dialog box. No error messages.

Time between log on and log off commencing is only a second
or two. I can access the dos prompt via the Recovery
Console, but don't know what to do to fix this problem. Any
help? cheers, Dunc.
 
That sounds like a corrupted user profile. Try to logon as another user. If you can,
then you need to delete the bad profile using the administrator account AFTER backing
up your data files from it while logged on as administrator. It may also be worth a
try to see if you can boot into safe mode to see if it helps which would indicate a
corrupt driver or a problem with a startup program. --- Steve
