unplugged and
not in service for months. I then remember why I went and bought a ne
one.
when powering up I get an error "Unable to log you on because of a
account
restriction"
when I click okay it just sits there. with the windows XP logo. When
start
up in safe mode it will just sit there with the windows logo until
hit Ctrl
Alt Del and then it comes up with the "your running in safe mode
warning. I
click okay and nothing
else happens but safe mode in all four corners. no task bar no deskto
icons
I click Ctrl Alt Del and get the task manager but thats all I get..
Can I
get some help on this? I sure appreciate your time on this... I hav
read
some thing about this warning but, I did not or have I ever messed wit

remote access. Please Please Help

Thank
 
One of the safe mode menu options is a bootlog. The last entry there might tell you what driver or system file is failing.

Boot to setup CD, and Recovery Console (press 'r' at the first screen). From the recovery prompt:

MORE ./system32/ntbtlog.txt
