Just cloned my hard disk and everything copied. I go to enter my username/password, hit enter, and then the splash screen appears. It says "Loading Personal Settings..." and then disappears. However, it is still loading as the splash screen color bar is still moving. Then, about 45 seconds later, it says "Saving Personal Settings..." and then "Logging off." It then proceeds to take me to back to the logon screen. The Microsoft.com solution to the logon-logoff loop did NOT work
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.
When i boot up the system hangs at the blue 'Windows xp' screen, the 'Windows is starting' is missing and it goes no further, the logon screen does not appear so i can't get in. I have recovery console on and i can get into the drive by booting in from another drive/operating system
I have the login loop problem. Click on user's name and the system loads settings, and then saves settings and returns to logon screen. I have checked the Winlogon registry entry, and yes it is correct. I have copied the userinit.exe file to wsaupdater.exe. I have done an in-place reinstall of XP Home with SP 2 which I have succesfully re-activated.
i was reading an old thread about the log on log off loop because my computer was expirencing the same difficulties, i managed to fix the promblem and log back on, but the end of the old thread i was reading(expired now) said to run hijack this and to send in the log file, so im sending mine now to avoid this promblem in the future,can someone tell me if there is still something wrong with my computer and i have a dell inspiron 1100 sp3.

My OS is XP Professional. I rebooted my PC & when I got to the login screen, I press Ctrl-Alt-Del. I go to the password screen & enter my password. XP then displays 'Loading your personal settings'. after a few seconds, it displays 'closing network connections' & 'saving your settings' & goes back to the login screen asking me to press ctrl-alt-del to login. This loop is happening whether I try to log to the domain or try to login as stand alone. If I enter wrong password XP says so & ask me to enter correct password. I am able to access my PC through another computer though & check the hard disk for any virus no virus found.
i had a malware virus that was removed by norton, its stuck in a log on log off loop, i tried a image file it did not work, next step in hard drive removal,can some tell me how the network 2 computers so i can change the registry to usernet or whatever
User has XP Pro. Log on keeps looping around. User is able to put in credentials, log on screen goes away, then reappears empty. User has to do Shut down/Restart to clear, is then able to put in cred and log on completes.
I encountered a reboot loop due to backdoor.sdbot.ab or the viruses that come with it. I caqn't get into safe mode, I can't use the command prompt, can't use safe mode, I can't do anything basically. Everytime I boot up it goes to the windows 2000 screen then reboots to the beginning and keeps on doing it.
I;m trying to do a repair install of Win XP on a Toshiba laptop. Setup gets to the installing Windows part, then flashes a black screen covered in zeros, then a quick blue screen that I cant stop long enough to read, then reboots, and setup restarts.I have given up on repairing this install, now I just want to wipe the disk and start over. Problem is,I dont know how to get out of this vicious setup loop.
Has been working fine for 3 days but it took a while to shutdown 2 days ago so I shut down with power switch.It now refuses to boot up. Goes through all usual till the 'start windows normally', run in safe mode' etc. The cursor will not move via any key on keyboard (although can use keyboard to access bios features) so I have no option other than to wait till 30 second timer countdown and it tries to start windows norally. After the 30 second countdown, the Windows splash screen appears half illuminated and it goes back to boot up again. Have tried to boot from CD (Windows disc) via Bios setting but the process continues as usual not allowing boot from disc.Have swapped Sata cables for new ones on DVD and HDD, tried to run windows setup with a brand new HDD but get BSOD after 2 minutes saying virus or HDD problem?Have tried swapping memory modules, removed graphics card and wifi card, nothing works!
I recently performed an optimization of my cpu with the Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC program. After the optimization i reebooted and have a bizare problem.Windows installer is trying to install the WinDVD program.I get 1 window that says: Please wait while windows configures WinDVD and another window that says: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'WinDVD.msi' in the box below then below it says use source: C:DOCUME~1CoreyLOCALS~1TemppftA~tmp.When i click cancel i get this message: Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product WinDVD. The windows installer cannot continue.
It's a good thing I have another computer to use...otherwise, I don't know how I would be able to ask these questions.My other machine is an HP a730n, 1 Gb RAM, 3 GHz, running with AVG anti-virus, all Windows updates in place.The machine was on overnight. Two programs were running (photoeditor, word processor).This machine also has two external drives connected to it, through USB ports.When I turned on my monitor, there was an error message displayed, but I didn't write it down. I clicked okay, and then the machine proceeded to shut down, and now it is going through an endless loop of trying to start windows.It initially gives me a screen with the options of safe mode, safe mode with networking, or command prompt, letting it start with the last known working configuration, or start windows normally. I've tried the start windows normally several times, to no avail.In safe mode, I clicked on Administrator, which then said it was starting windows up, but I then got a window that said "winlogon.exe application error. The instruction at "0x7498aaba" referenced memory at "0x00000008." The memory could not be read. Click cancel to debug, and OK to close.I also tried the last known good configuration, with the endless loop continuing.
I recently reformated xp computer with xp 2002 disk all went well until i got to the activation of windows I activated windows and clicked ok then as i got to the logg on screen the error popped up again i repeated what i did the first time and sure enough it worked but when i clicked finish it returned to the logg in i tried once again to logg on and it came the same error but this time it told me windows is already activated and the only way to access windows is via safe mode which dont allow u to activate windows.
I had to store my PC for a couple of months due to some home renovation. Hooked it all back up yesterday, and it booted fine. Only thing out of the ordinary was a message "new hardware requires windows to restart". I figured it was my TV tuner, it's always been touchy after a complete power-down. I chose not to restart right then, and used the pc for an hour or so, then selected shut-down. It powered down, then re-booted on its own. No problem, the TV tuner causes this, I waited to get into Windows to turn the DVR function that I know causes this, but it refuses to boot! I get to the windows screen with the progress bar, and after about 15 seconds, the screen goes black and it reboots.
This is kind of a long one, so please bear with me. In the last week I've been getting a lot of pop ups (almost every time i clicked a link or visited a new site) which i never used to get before. Many of them were things saying my computer was at risk and i should download such and such software, but i didn't know if they were legit so i didn't do it.Then one morning a couple days ago i woke up with the computer running the windows loading page. It took me to the password screen, i entered my password and windows started. But then once all the programs had loaded, it flashed a blue screen error, too quick to read, and then went black. Then it started loading windows again and took me back the password screen. I logged on and the same thing kept happening over and over.I started it in Safe Mode and did a full scan with my virus protection software (Symantec). It found six threats and i deleted them all. Restarted the computer but the same thing happened. I tried the disk defragmenter in Safe Mode but that didn't work either.
Finally i changed the System Config Utility in Safe Mode to diagnostic which allowed me to open windows outside of Safe Mode, but not use any programs. So i went back to the system config and turned off all the programs that i could recognize as unnecessary (AIM, Kodak, winAmp, etc) and restarted. This time windows started fine and stayed up for awhile. Just to be on the safe side i disabled the automatic restart so that if it happened again i could write down the blue screen error. After about a half hour of working fine it went to the blue screen error again.
I have a gateway desktop with windows xp home and it is constantly going into a reboot loop. Within 15 to 20 seconds of the computers start up it reboots itself and if left on it will continuously go into a loop. I get no blue screen flash neither, which I've heard a lot of people get with this problem. I have taken out the RAM cards and placed them in one by one seeing if RAM was the problem. It worked the first time, but after having one card in the second time it went straight back to a loop. So I crossed out RAM, I then took out my hard drive to see if it was causing the problem. I took it over to a friends house and it worked perfectly on a different PC. So that was out! I then thought maybe it was the PSU not sitting right, but it seems to be sitting fine. I cleaned my fans out as well thinking maybe it was just a simple problem. There are a so many different things that can cause this If I am correct? I just haven't the slightest of idea how to test my MOBO nor do I want to even go close to even touching it. I've also heard that WINXP service pack 2 suppously could cause this but I've just heard this. After trying everything in my personal arsenal I just did a clean reinstall of WinXP Home and everything seem to be working perfectly fine. The PC stayed on for about 2 and half hours after I installed the Wireless card then I turned it off for the night, thinking everything was fine. So I woke up to turn it on and to my surprise, it went into a reboot loop.
I started getting ad popups and it started running very slowly. I didnt think anything of it at first but then it started freezing and having a hard time closing windows and it was BARLEY running. And the bar at the bottom would disappear. I had to restart the dern thing 5 times just bc even ctrl/alt/del didnt even work closing these windows. Then it happened. One day when I was trying to restart it, It was in the middle of booting, and when the 'Windows is starting' screen comes up, the blue one right before you would select a user and put in a password comes up, the laptop just CLICKS OFF then restarts the rebooting loop over and over again.
decided to fix up one of my old computers...I am running an Asus A8n32-SLI deluxe and just my luck they have problems with sp3 install causing the reboot loop. Over the last few hours I have found out the following information:
The loop happens when I have my usb mouse plugged in, doesn't matter which spot and no other usb device causes. Have tried multiple types/brands of mice they all cause the loop. My flash drive also causes the loop but my keyboard does not.
When I reset the CMOS the loop did not occur until I sync'd my computers time, SP3 only
I have an XP PRO customer PC with a strange problem. It boots to the "login" panel and I can enter the PW but get the windows "forgot?" messageand the machine reboots. If I wait 30 seconds or so it reboots on its own.Same happens in SAFE mode: after about 30 seconds I get a reboot.No BSOD, no other indication.
So I downloaded some Windows (XP SP2) updates as usual on my Dell Dimension C521 Desktop, and after being nagged every 10 minutes to restart the computer, I finally gave in. You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM.Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair. I tried the Recovery Console as suggested, but it wouldn't let me past the Admin Password prompt. (And besides, Microsoft says not to do that on an OEM-installed operating system. )Soon, the error message disappeared and turned into a reboot loop, going endlessly back and forth between the Dell screen and the Windows screen. I tried a Repair Installation and it looked like it was working but it just added a new screen to the loop that says: "Setup is being restarted."
My friend's computer keeps rebooting itself when he powers it up. He said that sometimes it gets as far as the desktop but most times it doesn't but it just keeps rebooting itself.
I messed with some setting in the window for display properties>screen saver>Power Option Properties. Don't remember what I did, but the next time I restarted the comp. it loads windows then immediately after the startup screen goes away it says it's going into hibernation and does.It will stay on in Safe Mode, but the checkmark that tells hib to be on or not is not there. I've tried disabling ACPI in the BIOS but that doesn't fix it.There has to be some setting in the registry that can be changed to disable hiber, but no one seems to know how.
I had a problem with windows xp rebooting after everytime during the loading screen. I tried doing chkdsk /k with no use and then I tried to repair the installation. Now i can't finish the setup and can't access safe mode because it says. Windows XP setup can't run in safe mode.
before I got to the login screen I was redirected to a screen with options such as "Safe Mode" and "Start Windows Normally".
No matter what option I go for, the computer restarts and returns back to that screen - creating a loop. Before this screen appears I am told that my disk drivers failed or something (sorry but I don't remember the exact words) and I should put my system CD in (I assumed it meant my Windows Setup CD, which I later found out was correct).
I was installing MS updates and my system went down and began looping in startup. I have tried F8, safe mode s/u, safe mode w/networking etc, No luck.It keeps looping.
