Hi-I just tried to load a HP office ject 4215 all-in-one printer on my computer using the typical install which included all kinds of features. I don't have enough space so I removed it using the uninstall feature on the cd. It did not remove everything so I used Windows explorer to find what I could. Then, I reinstalled it using the minimum requirements. It is working fine but everytime my screen saver comes on, when I move the mouse I am at a windows login screen that shows the users (only one which is me) on the right and I have to click this to get back to my desktop. I have Windows XP Professional.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am troubleshooting a WinXP PC that is in an endless reboot cycle. After powering down then powering back up it will get as far as the login screen for Windows, then reboot, no warning, just blank screen then a complete restart. After a few automatic restarts it will not even make it that far, with shorter and shorter intervals between reboots. I have tried another drive in the PC to make sure it was not a powersupply/motherboard/ram issue, and the other drive works fine. I installed the original system drive
as a secondary drive, and can see all the data and have run basic diagnostics with no bad sectors detected.
This morning I come to my computer and it asked me for a password to login to windows. The funny thing about that is it I have never had a password. So I tried a cold reboot. no luck. Then I tried safe mode. same thing happens and I get asked for a password. The name of the window that comes up says "Log On to Windows". By the way I have XPpro. There are no name to pick from at the log on screen and nothing happens whe I click on the options button. Usually when you logon there are your own name plus an adminstrators account but I dont see any of this. Can someone please help I am desperate. I am a book keeper and I have all my clients books on there with no backup.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Vostro 200 DC - 1GB RAM, 80GB Hard drive, DVD, w/ Windows XP Home. I turn it on and instead of opening my normal work screen (with icons etc), it goes to a blue windows "welcome" screen with my name and personal icon as if I�d returned from standby and it's waiting for me to log back on. I am the only user -- only my name appears. There are only two options on the screen: click on my name or go to turn off the computer. When I click on my name it starts to load my personal settings, then in less than a second it says it's �logging off� but then after a few seconds it just returns to the welcome screen. I have rebooted windows in safe mode, but to no effect.

View 18 Replies View RelatedWhat happened is I just installed a new Hard Drive and a fresh windows install (XP Pro with Service pack 3). After all was installed it logged into my account (Me) which was my account with Administrator privileges. I did a series of windows updates now when I turn my computer on it goes straight to the Administrator account and not my account (me). So I have to log off or switch accounts from Admin to Me. I just want it to login to Me all the time. So I am not smart enough to figure it out.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Win XP sp2 and I usually leave my computer on 24/7. This morning I tried to open a file but it never opened. I went into the task manager to see if its even processing and it was there but the ccapp was taking all the cpu. So i tried to shutdown and restart. After that windows boots up to the login screen just fine but when i click on my account it take a long time to show my wallpaper. I can pull up task manager and the cpu isnt being used. the hdd is only accessed in little bursts. After a while the start menu pops up. any keyboard commands like to bring up win explorer takes a long time and all the commands pop up in a big burp of of command executions. I'm trying to reach system restore but cant. I'm not sure how to get into safemode with this system because just after post when f8 is usually used to bring up the menu the system opens a boot drive selection screen. During the RAM tests during post theres text stating press del to enter bios and f8 to enter boot drive selection so im not sure how to get to safemode now.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to install a new primary hard drive and reinstall windows xp from scratch on the new c: drive. For the moment I would also like to retain the old disc contents and the xp operating system. To try to do this I installed a second hard drive and cloned the old drive c: to the new drive f:. I created a dual boot computer by editing my boot.ini file so I could boot from either the c: or f: drive. I replaced my primary hard drive with a new drive and booted up in the f: drive. Then I cloned the f: drive back to the new c: drive creating a dual boot system. My concern now is that if I reinstall windows xp on the newly installed hard drive, the Dell installation disk will wipe out the operating system and the contents on the f: drive. Is there any way to retain the old system? I'd appreciate any help with this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI went to try to install windows xp onto a computer that already had windows on it. I did not boot from the cd. To do it without using the cd it has to copy the installation files to the computer and then run them. When setup does this it creates a new choice of an operating system to boot from called "Windows XP Setup." So now I have a Windows XP and a Windows XP setup. I've been in msconfig and looked at boot.ini but that didn't help

The only computer that can see shared files is my moms with the windows 2000. theres 3 more computers all running windows xp. how do i fix this? File sharing is now available, but I myself believe the internet is being slowed down. THe Internet gateway that windows XP is picking up is reading 8.0 mbps. My connection has gotten as high as like almost 2, but it should not read that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have what is hopefully an easy question: I have a windows "configuration" box that pops up quickly after I log in (XP Professional), then it closes down right away.It's like one of those "configuring personal settings" boxes that shows up after you install something, then reboot to complete the install. When you log in, the box pops up saying that it's configuring the thing you just installed.But this one goes by so quickly, I can't see what software it's trying to confiure. I uninstalled the couple of utilities that I had recently installed -- thinking they might be the culprits -- but it's still appearing. And since it's started appearing, my machine hangs for a couple minutes after login, like it's waiting for something to timeout. Before this started, life was good. Whatever it's trying to do, it's not being able to do, because it keeps running every time I log in. And my virus scan is completely clean.Anyway, my question is: does anyone know where Windows stores the information about installations or configurations that need to run on reboot? I've looked in the registry in the Run and RunOnce sections of both HKLM and HKCU, and there's nothing there. It's also not in the Startup folder.Obviously, there's some command somewhere that's running whenever I log in. I just need to find out where it is so I can figure out what's causing it.
