XP attempts login then logs out

If you try the repair please let us know what happens.

I've got a version of xp (maybe oem) with no possibility of repair.
So I try the method found on next webpage:

It's long but shorter than a full reinstall and IT WORKS !!!!

Thx Charlie White and the people of this forum

This souns like precisely the same problem I am having right now. Is there any other option than a new install cos I can't find my boot disk?

And where does this come from? Any way of protecting against it in future i.e. watch out for.....don't use......etc?

Hi folks, sorry I am new around here and found this forum out of desperation - and BOY, AM I GLAD I DID.

Firstly, many thanks to Bijorne for posting Charlie Whites article and big thanks to CW for the article itself.

I had tried all of the 'userinit' solutions posted elsewhere here and they didnt work.........CW's article, whilst very long did work and has enabled me to recover a lot of important work.

In short, if nothing else works, and you have had 'System restore' switched on give it a shot!

Thanks to all in this forum for their time in posting
