Problem logging on...

[Fred]

I am running windowsXP and my installation has developed a strange
problem...

when the system boots up and the default user is logged in, it is
immediately logged off...

safe mode the same occurs and administrator login is also impacted...

I taken the drive out and scanned it for viruses some minor adware threats
were found but nothing serious and problem remained after remounting the
drive

any ideas as I am completely shut out at the moment!

Thanks

Rick

And where is your original post that you are answering to?. Nobody is able to follow this post since we do not know what was the original issue and where it was posted. Kindly post back to or should I say ALWAYS post back to the original thread .

Sure you do, you probably just have the system set to hide system folders.
Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options, and on the View tab, set the options
so you can see hidden and system files. Specifically:

Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"

I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types". If it truly doesn't exist, we can expand one from the I386 folder
(on CD or on the hard drive).
