XP Home Closes After Windows Logon is input

[kenshireen]

I have XP Home on my laptop.. I ran AVG and had many Virut viruses.. AVG
cleaned/removed... When I went back to logon on I received the windows logon
window. I entered name and PW and then it quickly flashed "loading personal
settings" but then it said logging off and went back to the logon screen...
This happened over and over.. It does the same in safe mode. I am unable to
get into the program....

I then installed XP PRO in the same drive...did not partition. So now when
I log on I have a choice between either home or pro but I cannot get into
home and that is where most of my files are...

Can anybody help. I do have another PC

Since you installed WinXP Pro on the same partition as WinXP Home, you will
no longer be able to use WinXP Home. To access your files you need to seize
ownership of your various folders. Log on as Administrator, then click
Start/Help and look for help on "Ownership" to see how it's done.
