Logging In And Being Blank
May 17, 2009
This is very weird, it just started recently happening. I have two accounts on my computer, my account, and a guest account. My account works. However, when I log on to the guest account (which my other family members use), it just shows the background and no taskbar or desktop or nothing, just the background of the guest user and the thing just keeps loading until you need to turn off the computer.I've left it there for over an hour loading. So I tried created a account titled Family for everyone else but it's the same thing. What's the problem here?

I've recently installed Sony Sound Forge 8 which, as part of the installation, creates an ASP.NET user.Since this user was created, I have to click on my User Account to log in (it's the only one thatg shows on the welcome screen, the ASP one is hidden) How do I get it back to logging me in automatically - there's no password on the account.

where if i log off an account and try to log in again, there is a 1 min "Loading account settings" (i've checked it and its loading WgaLogon.dll...) and then there is an endless? (i've only been patient enough to leave it for 15 minutes) screen showing the desktop image.I can open the Task Administer and see there are some processes working (scvhost.exe mainly). I notice this not in the cpu-usage column, but on the memory-usage column, where these processes change the used memory (not in great numbers, though) Fast user switching works fine if i dont sign off of any account (I currently have only two).

After a few days of work, the user cannot open new windows explorer or other application windows. Nothing happens if she tries to. If she closes one window, then she's able to open a new one. The "allowed" number of opened windows varies from time to time, sometimes being as low as 4, but sometimes around 10 to 12. The performance tab in the task manager is completely blank (see screenshot). Some Windows explorer menu bars sometimes are blank, and a windows logo appear instead of the menus (see screenshots).
Rebooting fixes the problem, but it comes back a few days later. The laptop is part of a domain, running generally the same applications as other desktops and laptops in the domain, running the same antivirus, etc. The virus definitions are up to date, and a full scan has been run. Even stranger is the fact that when it happens, Windows XP doesn't even seem to be unstable, nor does it crash in any way. Just seems as if there was a limit on the number of processes or handles or threads allowed to run.
Laptop: IBM Lenovo Thinkpad (model 63716NF)
CPU: Core 2 @ 1,8Ghz
RAM: 2 gb
OS: Windows XP sp3.
Swap file: initially set to 2046 mb and max is set at 4092 mb
Processor scheduling and Memory usage are both set to "Programs"
I have been searching the web for solutions but cannot find any forum post describing the same problem. Thank you for any help.

Ever since I got this PC I have struggled to log on to AOL. When signing on, I need to time exactly the moment the modem arrows at the bottom of the screen turn from yellow to green with the moment AOL tries to move to step 2 of the 6 steps it does while logging in. i.e. when the second of the 3 globes on the AOL screen appears. This is very difficult to do as I have to click the sign on button a few seconds before I think the arrows will go green and I have to time it exactly right. I need to repeatedly unplug and plug in the modem for each attempt. Sometimes I drop lucky and get on quickly, today took 45 minutes! I have reloaded both AOL and the modem several times, but this makes no difference. Once I am in, the connection is fine. If I log out of AOL and then back in again without turning off the PC then I get back in again straight away. I have a PC in another room which has no such problems.

I have recently reformatted my hard drive and i must say that everything is running fine. Everything, all my programs, all that good stuff.Im running Windows Xp, Media Center Edition, with fairly solid specs behind it.I just have one problem, when the system starts up. It does not stop at the log on screen, it just continues into my account without even asking for a password. Now i dont need other people being able to get on my computer simply by turning it on.

I select my account and enter my password. Windows begins to load my personal settings but then quits and goes back to the login screen showing the user accounts. I can stop this from happening by moving the mouse while my settings are being loaded.

loose dial-up connection, after you log off your computer simply add this string to your registry, and your computer will keep your connection after you log off, and switch user until you disconnect it Standard Warning: You really should back up your system before making any changes to your registry
1. Open Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinlogon.
3. Click
Add String Value within the Edit menu.4. Type KeepRasConnections in the dialog box, and select REG_SZ as theData Type.5. Click OK.6. In the next dialog box, type 1 and click OK.7. Close the Registry Editor

I have a mapped drive and whenever I try to connect it keeps asking for my user name and password. Using tweak ui I have set my auto logon to the same information that I enter when it asks me for the user name and password.

Every time I turn my computer on I have to re-enter my username and password to connect to a mapped network drive. The drive is on a server running 2003 at work.The server has the permissions set up to allow me to connect with my server account, but I have XP home on my machine. Is there any way to keep me from having to enter my username and password every day?

I have a Medion PC running Windows XP which I have had since March. Over the last month I have had a problem logging off and shutting the machine down. When I try to log off it removes all the icons from view then freezes leaving just the background. The same happens if I try to turn off or restart the pc. I therefore have to just turn the machine off by the power button whereupon it immediately restarts and everything is fine until the next time I want to log off or switch off.

XP Professional has been running fine for years and now it won't shut down, it hangs at the screen. The only way to turn it off is with the power button. I tried to do a restore but when it gets to the point of restart the system won't shut down and the restore fails. I have McAfee installed and have scanned three times with no problems found.

Got a virused computer, as soon as I ran a PAV ( Mcafee Daily on NTFSDos ) to remove virii the system now gets to the welcome screen and upon clicking on a user account, it says logging in, immediately says logging off and dumps back to the welcome screen, this is with any account, including administrator, even in safe mode. I'm going to attempt to see what PAV pulled out using a linux live distro and maybe restore any missing files via recovery console,

I was cleaning my brother's computer of junk using a registry cleaner and a junk file remover. After cleaning the registry and defragmenting it, I restarted the computer and it would not let me log in. It says loading your personal settings quickly followed by saving your settings and then logging off. It would go back to the welcome screen and that's it. It is the same in Safe Mode.

my PC seems to be having what you would call major issues. Within minutes of logging in, my PC either locks up or restarts itself. This can occur from me either just clicking, trying to open up My Documents, changing my wallpaper, ETC.I have tried to defragment (can't start), system restore (all of my points were deleted somehow), AdAware (error message upon click), McAfee (refuses to load after the logo pops up), using msconfig to remove the startup programs to determine if any of them are the cause (helps just a tad, but so far, the problems persist).I can't access HijackThis because, even if if I COULD open it, going into Chrome, IExplorer or Firefox would just cause the PC to crash or lock up.I need an answer soon. I have just started school, and I need to use my PC. I have also just spent $140 to upgrade it so I can play Warhammer Online and The Witcher.

A friend of mine has been using some kind of hack software, I assume a password logger, to crack my password and log on to my XP account. How can I prevent this? I wouldn't mind logging in with something other than a password.
