Okay, the problem is: When I start my computer (laptop) it goes thru the
loading of Win XP, you know, the screen with the little bar. Then it shows
the welcome screen as normal, and since I am the only account/person on my
computer it goes right to my dsktop. Only now it shows teh desktop, or
rather just the wallpaper, for a split second and then goes to the welcome
screen and shows my account on there like it would if you have numerous
accounts or an account with a password. Not a big deal, so I click on it,
and it does the same thing. Shows the desktop for a split second and goes
back.
I've tried shutting it down, restarting it, putting it on standby. I've
tried starting it in safe mode, booting off the CD. I've tried it without
anything plugged in, I've tried pushing Ctrl+Alt+Del to get the 'old' style
of log in box, then I hit Cancel and it just goes back to the Win XP Welcome
screen.
So does anyone have any idea what is wrong and how I would fix it? I would
like to do it with out reinstalling windows and deleing my whole hard drive,
but I guess if it comes to that I have to do it.
Thanks.
