View 9 RepliesI got Compaq Armada 1592 Its screen said password expired, enter old password, then the new password. I entered old password, tried all sorts of combinations of upper case, lower case I thought I could just bypass that screen and start as new user, but apparently
not.
windows password was going to expire in 14 days. I tried making a diffrent user account and even tried to figure out on my own how to get into the administrator account.
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan anyone tell me what happens when the local administrator password on a PC Windows XP Pro/Windows 2000 Pro) is expired? From experience I know that you receive a prompt asking if you want to reset the password or not. Does this just pop-up forever or would you eventually be locked out of the local administrator account if the password wasn't reset? Is there any kind of official documentation about this out there? I've looked on TechNet but am not having much luck locating information. Also, does anyone know the registry key to set an expiration interval?

View 6 Replies View RelatedFor some time I have been having problems booting up with XP; I don't get a BSOD but a page full of print asking which of 5 options it should use with Start Windows normally highlighted. None of the options worked and would just keep going round in a circle. I discovered that occassionally windows booted up and would madly do as much work as I could as well as running all my security programs. However these times have ceased and after a week of no Windows I decided to use the Reload disc to recover the system to factory mode. To my horror I now have exactly the same thing happening . Can someone tell me what is likely to be wrong with my system?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI frequently use the MSconfig file to uncheck programs to keep them from starting up automatically at windows boot up. However, its not too long before the programs reload themselves and start up again on boot up. Im guessing that using these programs for some reason they load themselves up at startup. Most notably is the yahoo messenger and quicktime programs. I dont want them loading at start up but everytime i do use them, they put themselves back in the start up routine. Is there anyway to stop them from doing this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt keeps doing strange things. If you click on recent documents, it says they aren't there, but they are. If you click on a file, the program comes up, but the file won't open until you click it again. That's only a couple of examples. I've reloaded office and it didn't help. So I decided to reload XP. It says I have a newer version on my computer that what is on the disk and if I load it, I will lose files and programs. I'm assuming it's a newer version becuase of all the windows updates. I also keep getting SYS32 ? errors, plus run time errors.
View 3 Replies View RelatedA few weeks ago, I had a malware problem, which I fixed.Since then, whenever I want to shut down, my computer will not. I have to use the big blue button on the front of the CPU to shut it down for the night. The normal cycle does not function to do so.Do I need to reload Windows to correct this, or is there another easier, faster way to diagnose and fix this problem?

Question I have is if I use the utility to reload the pc "as I bought it". will I get the same problem? I dont want to go to the trouble of reloading windows, software etc. (I only made a boot disk after this problem begun; will this have any bearing on reloading windows?)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI will start from the beginning, two weeks ago when my 6 month old computer ( a Compaq Presario, 120 GB HD, 512 RAM, Pentium 4, 2.4GH Processor) had a black screen showing disk boot failure one morning when I got up. I had left it on overnight, and it was fine when I went to bed. My brother feels certain it was hard drive failure, as it was making clicking noises, speeding up and slowing down, and finally quit. a Western Digital 120 GB, and he installed it for me. We installed the 7 recovery disks with Windows XP that is the original disks to the system. Windows booted and I proceeded to install Norton which came on the system, went online to get updates, and the computer locked up completely while getting updates.

This is the only screen I can get, other than setup for bios - which can still see the hard drive and installed peripherals. Don't have a floppy drive,
although I'll be getting one soon, in order to try a boot to that.
Everytime I initiates my Windows, a message appears on the screen telling that Windows recovered himself from a problem at the registry by using a backup copy... But it always appears
