Hi My computer running xp pro is now not opening. It just goes to the
desktop with no items. If i click alt control delete, i get the message that
administrator has disabled taskbar.

i have tried to get into safe mode or restore, by putting in win cd, but
when asked for administrator password it is not accepting it.

the only instructions i can find about getting into safe mode or restore
involve turning computer to restart then pressing f8. as i can not see any
menues this is not working.

any ideas thanks tim
 
Hi Tim

There is only a short window of time to press the F8 key when the
computer is starting, so the best thing to do is to continualy press
the F8 key from when you start the pc to when you either get the menu
from which you can choose ot run safe mode or the windows starting
screen.

If you get in to the safe mode try scanning for adware, spyware and
viruses. I had something very simular to what you have discribed.
