Can't Logon :: Don't Have The Icon
Sep 23, 2009
I cannot logon to xp. I don't have the icon logon so I can read to you exactly what it does
Loading your personal settings (this one goes fast but I think its playing logon sound)
Restoring network connections (during that I see my desktop background) something skips quickly through here, i think its executing WGAlogon.dll or something Saving your settings (background disappears)
and now I'm back in the logon box
I really don't have much information other than I can't login
Is there any way to make a user by only editing files?
I have system restore points but I cant get to them because I can login to the user even in safe mode, any way to get to those?
I only have 1 user so Ignore my messup right there, not creating a backup user.

My computer starts up normally.It always just autologs on since I'm the only one using my windows xp computer. However, before anything can be displayed it immediatley logs off to the logon screen. I click my username and start the login process (i have no password and before even switching to my wallpaper or anything it says stuff like logging out and saving your settings.
I tried booting in safe mode too and the same infinite logon loop occured to, even with the default administrator account. The last thing I remember doing before this happened is I was playing City of Heroes when it crashed forcing me to restart my computer. This happens occasionally in certain programs but I've never had anything like this happen before. I tried unplugging my keyboard, mouse, usb devices, ethernet cable, no luck. Intel Pentium 4 1.7 ghz Geforce 5600 FX 256 mb windows xp home service pack 1, in case any of that matters

I've seen another post somewhere and someone else had this problem, but I haven't found a solution. We're using WXP Pro, SP2. After doing a repair install (the other person just had it after using Windows Update), at logon, after entering the correct, AND VALID, password either for a user Or the Administrator, Windows Logon displays the following Logon Message in a box: "!The system cannot log you on due to the following error: "The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect. "Please try again or consult your administrator."
No matter how many times logon is attempted, or with what account, the message continues to be issued. Thus, NO ONE can logon to the GUI. The Recovery Console can be used to logon as Administrator, but no password is requested even though there is one in place. I've searched the MSKB but didn't find any reference. Implementing "Last known good configuration" does not fix the problem.

I was wondering how to fix this problem, the icon for internet explorer in the start menu shows up as an unknown file icon. The icon on the desktop for IE shows fine but when i try to click on it, it creates a shortcut for internet explorer. if click on IE from the start menu, it opens IE with no problems.

no IE icon on desktop or in programs. i have internet access through verizon. i recently got windows update to install IE7 in the hope that would restore the icon/program but the only way i can access the internet is via the verizon browser. i clearly installed IE7 because now the "sidebar" of my verizon browser says that "sidebar i currently not compatible with IE7...". so why can't i get the IE7 icon in my program list or desktop?

After looking at the display settings and closing them, my icon disappeared. A file search on all *.cpl files show that the display.cpl file still exists
and I can create a shortcut to the desktop and run the program.But, I'd like my icon back.I believe the problem was created by having all my icons underlined so I only have to do a single Left click to bring up the program.

I've winxp Home with SP2 system, yesterday my daughter had installed the program 'MS Plus' from the XP Installation CD which was not installed earlier in the machine. My OS is original, but to-day on opening the system I'm seeing that the icon of Hard Drive(E : Drive)to which the program was installed went missing and in its place another icon (which generally represents for any unidentified file) has taken its place.

problem setting the CD/DVD icon to return to it's normal icon in My Computer. It currently has the Audio CD icon. I've played an audio CD awhile ago and since then, the icon has remained. This icon is causing problems when I open a Data CD. When the Data CD is inserted the Audio icon emains. When I click on the icon, Media Player starts. I have disabled the auto-run or auto-play setting prior to this problem. I would have to right-click and select Open to get to the data files.
Under Windows Explorer, when I click on the icon, it shows the contents of
the data CD but the Audio icon is still present.

Just wondering why when you drag an IE http short cut to the desktop, it does not display the site logo icon. Sometimes, they will show and others not. I have had them even come and go after different sessions. I log on to Internet both through work firewall and at home on network through firewall and in motels through open and firewall protected isps.

I just installed a program that requires dot NET Framework to be installed.
Now when I boot up I have to press enter at the log on screen(i don't have a password to start windows).
What can I do so I don't have to press enter everytime I reboot my computer?

yesterday i dl logonloader to change my logon screen. i went to deviantart to dl a new picture. it was a zip file and i used winrar to extract it. i logged off my computer and a black screen with a box popped up. it asked where to extract the file to and it automatically gave c:/windows/system32 as the location. i hit install and now i get an error message saying incorrect path. i cannot get back into my computer. i've tried extracting to other locations. windows support had me install another windows on my computer..so now i have 2 operating systems. but i still cannot access the other system to retrieve any files. is there anything i can do short of allowing everything to be erased and have the computer restored?

I'm new here and have no idea what I'm doing with computers.
But I need help because my laptop isn't working. The problem is that when I get to the login screen there is no user account to click on and instead shows me just a blank spot where the button should be. I have tried using control-alt-del and it pops up as a different login screen, but when I try to login it says "cannot log in interactively".

I am facing difficulties to logon to my laptop. It runs on Windows XP SP2 and it has been working fine for the last 9 months. I have installed a software called "cnbtech" which is used to installed drivers for a camera.I restarted my laptop and the laptop stops in the Logon page. The weird part is that the user icon is not displayed on the screen.So the pressed "ctrl+alt+del" to open a page which shows my name as the user and it request for a password, but i do not have any idea about the password as i did not set any password before. I tried to enter the administrator mode but it request for a password as well, and i even tried to run on safe mode but the password is still being asked.There are so many important documents saved in it so i cannot afford to reformat my laptop. So i have removed my hardisk and connected it as an external hardisk to another laptop. Here i can view all the softwares and docoments stored in my hard disk.My opinion is that the "dll files" which are assigned to the Windows Logon might have been corrupted. I want to replace the dll files with a new one from another laptop. Now my problem is i don't know which dll files are assigned to the windows Logon.

Turned on the computer this afternoon, clicked my identity to log on to windows, entered my password and the logon process proceeded. However, at this point a strange little Windows-like box pops up withe a yellow triangle, a "yes" button and a "no" button. There is no other text in the box. Not being sure what the heck it was, I clicked NO and the computer booted up as normal. This box has appeared on each subsequent reboot. I have run AdAware, but Spybot S&D fails to respond each time I try to launch it (related?).

I recently attempted to install a program that installed Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1. The installation of the original program didn't complete so I uninstalled .Net. Now, when I turn on my computer the log on screen doesn't appear - it just goes directly to the desktop. This isn't a problem because I only have one user account, but I just wanted to see if my ininstalling .net had something to do with this, or if not, what else could have caused this to happen spontaneously? (I don't like it when my computer starts doing things I didn't tell it to do

This may be a coincidence but I installed a new anti-virus program on my laptop and and rebooted. When it restarted, I was presented with a user login screen and the only available account was "Guest". I have never previously had more than one user account and it always booted straight into XP using my default administrators account called "Peter".
I don't know how to recover the situation as when I login as Guest now I have no admin rights. I can see the "Peter" folder still exists under Documents & Settings and I really don't want to re-install XP Home if at all possible.

I started getting a prompt when I would boot up to select a user and logon. I did some reading on what to do to get rid of this and think I screwed something up. I have xp pro and it came preinstalled. I don't know what password they used for administartor. Whatever I did I lost everything in the user accounts but my own. I don't even have a way to add users anymore

password not working. forgotten? How do I get in. I have looked at the program that a few people have recommended, making new boot disks, etc. Great if you are a computer engineer, but for the rest of us dummies you might as well ask me to build a rocket ship to pluto.

I am trying to boot up a PC that allows me to log on and then I get a brief(1 sec) desktop background and then goes straight to logoff. It's running XP Prof and I went to recovery console and did a chkdsk /r and it said it fixed 1 or more errors. I ran it again and it was clean. It still won't work even in safe mode.

The problem started when I read a magazine article about removing the "Logon Box", when the system boots up. It said you should go to the "Run Command" and type in "Control userpasswords2"
That took me to the "User Accounts" and on the first page there were two users listed. The first was the "Administrator" and the second was "Me"(Which was myself)

My laptop Pentium III windows XP home originally had win98. I did a fresh install of Win XP home with no logon. I use a bios level password so no further password is desired. I had someone enter some data into a database for me, and while they were using the computer they decided to create a guest account. Now I am stuck with a logon prompt. I have tried to eliminate the guest account but can only disable it. The logon prompt is annoying, how can I eliminate it?

You may experience extremely long delays (up to 5 minutes) when logging into domains using Windows XP Pro. This is caused by the asyncronous loading of networking during the boot up process. This speeds up the login process in a stand-alone workstation by allowing the user to log in with cached logon credentials before the network is fully ready.To disable this "feature" and restore your domain logons to their normal speed, open the MMC and add the group policy snap-in. Under Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->System-->Logon, change "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" to ENABLED.
