| Carey,
| Thank you so much for the links. The first one was for WIndows XP Pro so I
| was unable to use it. I did however use the second one which did work. Now I
| can log in using my original windows log in screen. Unfortunately the program
| will still not let me do installs or use msconfig. Would reinstalling Window
| XP Home maybe work? If I reinstall Windows will I loose the information on my
| computer?
| I hope I am not being too much of a bother but I hate the idea of restoring
| to the factory settings. Everytime I have done that on other computers I
| always lose something no matter how hard I try to back up.
| Thank You Again,
| Rvtime
