Something happened to my windows XP profile. Most of my start menu is empty.
the system restore always fails. I am trying to run the repair from the cd.
when I get to where it asks for the administrator password, it doesnt like
my password. There is one account,mine, with me designated as the
administrator. It wont let me make a user account named administrator. It
says there is already an adminisrator. I tried clearing my password, but it
doesnt like that either. I'm stuck. Does anyone know how to get past this
 
Thanks for replying, I already tried that.
I found in another post about doing three finger twice and logged into the
administrator account and created a password (same as mine), apparently
there hadnt been one before.
Now when starting repair console, i enter the pass word and it drops to the
c prompt.
 
Try passing the first repair the CD offers by "Entering past it", and going
to the second Repair option. I believe that's where you want to be.
