When i boot the system up, it boots up fine, I have it set to log in not
requiring a password. Well it stops at that screen and asks me to click on
the profile to load. There are no profiles to click on. I can not tab to
any other profiles or do anything other then to turn off the system. What
can i do to get past that screen?
At the Welcome screen, hit the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys at the same time twice.
This should make the Log On to Windows dialog appear. Enter your user name and
password and see if you can log on. If you can't, try logging on with the
Administrator account. Note: If you have Windows XP Home Edition installed on
your computer you'll need to boot into Safe mode to log on with the
Administrator account.
Where you go from here depends on the state of your user account. If it's
corrupted, you'll need to create a new account and copy your files from your old
account to this new one. If your user account is OK, it may be a case that it's
hidden from the Welcome screen. Run the registry editor (Start -> Run ->
regedit.exe) and navigate to the following registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Look in the right hand pane and see if your user account is listed with a value
of 0. Right click on your account, select Modify from the menu, and change the
value to 1.
Good luck
