XP home login problem

[Help!]

I can't login to my windows XP home anymore.

I used to have new style login screen with user icons to login with, now XP
home has changed that to old style loginbox. Every time I try login, with
RIGHT password, it starts login but immediately after it tells about loading
settings, it starts disconnect network and logs me out back to login box.

What can I do to "cure" this. I can't get in windows even through safemode,
or command prompt. Same thing happens on both of those also. I would try
repair install but my system came with recovery disks that would wipe out
whole system and I'd lose all my files.

Try Admin in safe mode, if that does not work...

Call XP support and tell them you need a replacement XP CD, and they will
send (I know) you one.

If you have two hard drives.. then you could do this...
If you can get to someone else's computer, download the ISO for DEMO linux
or Knoppix linux, and burn it to CD. Boot from the CD (it will not install
on you Hard drive, it runs from the CD only) with your computer and then go
into (you will begin in /home/user/, so you have to cd until you reach / )
/mnt/c/Documents and Settings/"Your user name" and then copy over
everything you don't want to lose to the other hard drive.
Then you run your recovery CD's and after you are back into XP, then you
copy all your stuff from the other Hard drive, back to where you want it.
