Hi,
Windows XP Home Edition
The night previous I added a new user account and also
turned off the Guest account in XP. I swapped between
users just to check all is OK, logged off one and onto
another also - everything fine.
I shut down the PC
I turn my PC on today and it gets as far as the Welcome -
Starting up windows Screen - then just sits there - it
hasn't crashed or anything - just sits there - no user
accounts, logon screen etc.
There is some disk activity and then nothing
I can't even get past it by selecting all the other boot
options - safe mode etc. So am blocked out of my PC and pulling my hair out !
Searched the Knowledgebase and have found nothing as yet :-
(
Can anyone please help ? Has anyone seen this before ?
I am an IT person - so technical explanations/solutions -
plese fire away.
Next step could be boot disk and meddling with the system
files, but I haven't a clue which ones are relevant.
Thanks,
Scott
(I have done this before some months back and then deleted
the temp user - all was fine then)
