Login problem

[desperate - John A.]

Windows XP Home Edition
Laptop - Fujitsu P Model

Try to login in but it logs off right away....
here is sequence of events:

Click User account

1. Loading personal settings...
2. Logging off...
3. Saving your settings...

Already tried Safe Mode but it kept me logging off.

Boot on floppy disk and access C: drive and delete
some .jpg files to free disk space... no luck!

I have some important client files to recover. HELP!!!

Thanks!

Hi,

You may need to log in as the administrator with your
password? At the Welcome window hit ctrl+alt+delete twice
or if the welcome screen is disabled once, type in
Administrator in the user name box, and your password you
created for the administrator account during setup.

Hope this helps.

Repairing and Reinstalling Windows
When all attempts to repair your system fail, you may be
able to repair your Windows XP installation using the
Windows Setup program. As a last resort, you can
reinstall Windows over an existing installation and hope
that the new installation will recover enough of your old
settings to allow you to retrieve your data files.

The repair option is quick and painless and typically
does not adversely affect user settings. To exercise this
option, start from the Windows CD as if you were going to
do a clean install. It's easy to become confused during
this process, because the word repair appears in two
different places when you start your computer using the
Windows CD. At the Welcome To Setup screen, do not choose
the option to repair your installation using the Recovery
Console. Instead, press Enter, which starts the Windows
Setup program. After you accept the license agreement,
Windows searches your system for existing Windows
installations. When you reach the screen that lists your
current Windows installation, select it from the list and
press R to start the repair process. The remainder of
this procedure requires the same steps as if you were
performing a clean installation; when Setup finishes,
your system files should be refreshed and your existing
data and settings should be accessible again.

In cases of severe disk damage or registry corruption, a
repair installation will not be effective; the only
alternative is to reformat the disk and install a clean
copy of Windows.

The above was pasted from MS XP Inside Out CD.

I was thinking of doing what you had just said... but due
to some important files my hesitation leads me to a HOLD!

Thank you for the great suggestions!!

I will surely try this with your assuring notes.

Thank you again.
