I tried cleaning up some of the spyware that is on my computer the other day. Once I had, I restarted. The welcome screen appeared, it flashed my background and then went to a welcome screen with my name on it. I click on my name, the log in music plays, my background appears and then the log out music plays and I am right back at the welcome screen with my name on it. I have tried opening in every type of safe mode and all other available options when I hit F8. I called the maker of my computer and they said it is a spyware problem
my computers busted again (and for the third time I call for help from my trusty laptop...it never seems to die whenever my desktop is in need...she's like a good neighbour...) Few days ago my ISP disconnected my internet because they found an IRC bot infecting their network. I ran my antivirus and (gasp) it found system32/virut virus, among a plethora of other files. I'm not sure how bad this virus is, or if indeed anything can be salvaged. I let the antivirus remove what it could, and rebooted my PC
So the desktop i think is infected with malware or something because every time i try to log in on any ones name (even in safe mode) it logs off. i tried looking at other forums but i couldn't understand what they were saying and TechGuy has never failed me before so any ideas?
My WinXP has gone thru a lot lately but it generally works fine.owever, after a long trip, when it was jogged around a bit, it has notbooted since. Well, it boots to the welcome screen then immediately logs off and returns to the welcome screen.It works ok in Safe mode, per se. I tried adding a new user but that just doesn't matter.
Last night I took the recommendation of Jeruvy and Arctik at this post and ran my virus checker (AVG) and spyware program (Spybot) in Safe Mode. You can read about the erratic behavior I was trying to correct in that post, but it's not directly related to the problem at hand.AVG found no problem, but Spybot found one malware program that it didn't find when not in Safe Mode: W32/GGDoor..I had Spybot correct it, which it said it did successfully. While I was in Safe Mode, I went ahead and cleaned up a bunch of temp files in each account's %temp% folder. I then rebooted.Since the reboot, I cannot properly log in to Windows -- not in regular mode nor in Safe Mode. When I log into any of the accounts (this is XP Home with multiple accounts), Windows logs me in, but before much of anything else happens, it says it is logging me back out.
I'm using XP professional SP2, after I login at the welcome screen, my screen shows my desktop wallpaper for less than a second and it auto logged off to the welcome screen again. Now I can't access my PC.
My wife uses a home-built computer with windows xp home edition on it. On Friday last week it was working just fine. she left it running over the weekend, and on Sunday evening she went in to check her email. The screen had gone black, so since she couldn't get any response from it, she performed a manual reboot (at my suggestion)
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'm using a Dell inspiron 6400 laptop, windows XP.
-I turn my laptop on -I get to the screen where you choose a user -Whatever user i choose, it goes to log on and then immediatly logs off and goes back to the user screen.
How can i fix this? Sorry if i've missed off any info needed to help on this
I have a Home Theater PC (XP Pro with SP2) that I have been using for a few months. I recently decided to mirror the O/S drive since this machine was very valuable to me. I bought a RocketRaid 454 controller and added it to my system. I first booted up with no drives attached to the new controller (left them connected to the onboard). I did this so that XP could recognize
As soon as I connnect to the remote desktop, it immediately logs off. I have all the 'User Rights Assignments' configured, and I have RD turned on. I also have my user name in the Remote Desktop Users group.
My computer takes me straight too the blue login screen. When i try to login in it immediately logs off. I cant boot into safe mode or restore because when i reboot it takes me directly to the login screen. Can anyone help ?
My Computer is stuck in some rebooting cycle. I have XP home edition. Every time I log in it shows my desktop with no icons, sits then logs off. I've tried safe mode with the same result. I've tried booting with my XP cd with same result. I read somewhere that it might be a virus
Our main server has a login problem - When we login it goes through all the normal processes then immediately logs off again, this happens on the server itsself and also clients connecting to it thru remote desktop.
After running a round of Symantec antivirus, I found that t the next reboot, whenever I click a user logo to login, the user wallpaper flashes briefly, then logs off again. No error message or any other indication occurs.
I have Windows XP with SP2, and I normally have my computer set up with one user account so that it logs in straight away. I was working on it the other day and it randomly restarted, and came up with the classic user log on screen. i.e. where you must enter your username and password, not the one where it gives you a choice of user names. Also, before it loaded this screen, it flashed an unusual blue screen momentarily. I tried to log on using my username, and it started to log me on, made the traditional windows log on noise, but the dialog bow said logging out at the bottom, which is what it did moments later and I found myself back at the classic log on screen. I have tried several times to log on, I have restarted my computer, and I have started it in safe mode and it keeps doing the same thing.
I have Win XP HE and have two user accounts. When one logs off ( & if its been idle for app. 15 mins.) ..the puter locks up..This has never happened in the past. (usually after app. ten minutes the WindowsXP logo appears randomly on screen which I'm assuming is normal .When moving the mouse, the Windows sign on screen appears.This happens sometimes).What I mean by locking up is that when we move the pointer to get to the sign on screen, the screen just becomes black
I go to log in on my Windows XP Home sp2 and when I log in, the background flashes then instantly logs me off. Happens in safe mode aswell as safe mode under the admin account.Ok I know alot of you have heard of this but, here is the deal, The windows xp home cd does not pick up my harddrive, I cant get signed in through normal mode aswell as safe mode, Last know config does crap, I have it hooked up to my friends pc right now and I just backed up all my important files. Nothing seems to be working, I have tried several bootable cds with registry editors in then and again none of them picked up my harddrive. So I am at a stand still! nothing seems to pick up my harddrive except plugging it into another pc.
i have a sony vaio laptop....yesterday i got a notice that i had windows updates so i chose the update icon and after it installed them, the laptop restarted. once i see the log in page...i would put in my password and login...and 2 seconds later it would log me off...save my settings and send me back to the log in page. heres the funny part...its happening to the admin account aswell ....IN SAFE MODE!!! i have no idea what to do inorder to fix this issue.
I recently started up my computer and after attempting to log into Windows, it stalls for about 10 seconds, saves settings and then procceds to log off.
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.
1) So my computer can start which is good news, I start without pressing F10 or F8 and I get to the windows xp welcome screen only to login either to my account or admin account and then logs me out immediately. FAIL
2) I press F8 and try to start in safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, go to last know good config, all doesn't work. FAIL
3) Burned a BIOS cd that is dos in an .ISO file and tried to change the boot order through F10 and it can't boot the cd.
everytime I boot my computer up it just logs off, I click the log in, and then it just goes off again. this happens in all modes, safe mode, networking mode, iv tried just about everything.I tried to use my xp disk and it doesnt load it, I have set it too boot from the disk aswell, and it makes no difference it just loads as normal and then logs out againIv made a boot floppy disk, and it lets me get to a form of DOS screen, but its useless, all the commands dont work, I have put the xp disk in, and tried too use the dos too install xp but it doesnt do anything
It's not my computer, it's my friend's computer. He is unable to get passed the windows login. We have tried all 3 logins including the administrator and guest accounts. On all of them, it automatically logs back out even before getting to the desktop. Also, booting into safe mode produces a BSOD with stop error message. I'd just reformat it but my friend doesn't want to lose all of his data.
I'm seting up my first XP machine.I have 2 users, me asadministrator and my wife as a basic user.Every time my wife logs off and I log on Zone Alarm crashes and has to be rebooted, but it diesn't happen when I log off and my wife then logs on. I've tried searching for advice with no luck,
I need to logs of my pc. But the date is far. Such as I need the logs of April 2009. My logs are based on which programs installed, which internet address visited, which folder is viewed and what time the computer restarted. When I look at the event viewer I can not see logs according to the log
when i log on to my laptop it begins to load up my desktop and it only gets as far as the wallpaper then it immediately logs me off again. so i cant get into my comp to try and fix it.
I was and still am having trouble with Windows Exployer. I can open it, but after opening a couple of pages it logs itself off. This is still happening. I tried using Firefox instead (now have both loaded) and have it listed as the Default, but I get an Unable To Connect error everytime now. Links try to open in Firefox and will not open.
1) Why is Exployer logging off? 2) Why can't I connect with Firefox? 3) Which do feel is better? 4) How do I set up default browser? ( I can't remember how I did it)
