Laptop with XP Home Cannot Login I'm trying to get a problem with a laptop fixed. Here is the problem:
Laptop boots to Welcome screen.
Click the username, get the logging in message, screen blinks, says loggging
out, then back to Welcome screen.
This happens on ALL user accounts.
This happens in Safe Mode too.
System: Compaq Presario 2200, XP Home, Intel Celeron M processor.
Can anyone help me out on this?

Will it start in last known good configuration? If so, run a scan with up
to date anti virus and malware programs. Anti-Malware 1.34, which is a
great, free program, can be downloaded from here:

Thanks Ron,
No, I just tried your suggestion, and it will NOT start in LKGC.
It goes to "Loading your personal settings..." right back to "Logging off..."
Any other suggestions?

I would try Pegasus' suggestion first. I have worked on PCs that gave
similar symptoms and in many cases, malware was the culprit. Often the PC
would not boot so I slaved the infected drive in my old PC and used the
software on it to clean the infected drive.

Try the userinit fix from here http://www.ms-mvp.org/ this file works for
SP2 and SP3 only. READ the enclosed instructions. If you have SP1 do not use
this file. Your issue is caused by a malware infestation. Once fixed you
will need to use the Remove-it software, it will remove that malware from
your system. Choose yes for all options when prompted. Download it here

Do not follow any directions from an unethical hack that would
impersonate other members of this community.
- Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum.
- Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a
drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist"

This is caused by a registry error: sometimes as a result of a malware
infection, sometimes just 'cos windows felt like it. See:
