Windows XP cannot login
Posted on 2004-09-20
Have a XP Home edt pc. Cannot login even in safe mode. When I select a user it starts to login then says saving settings and I'm back at (still at) the screen with the accounts to select (Administrator, Owner).
Doesn't matter what account I select its starts the login then says saving settings and its like I'm loggin back out. Never get to a desktop screen.
Thanks
