I have tried virtually all boot modes under the f8 menu: safe mode, debugging mode, everything. (OS is XP Pro, and I think it is completely updated--it updates automatically). The behavior is always the same for either my regular account or the admin account. It logs in and immediately logs out. Any suggestions? I REALLY don't want to reinstall the OS.
Hi,
I've read that this problem doesn't occur with v1.5.2, but like round_midnight, I also was running v1.5.2 and have the same problem as of my June 29th update. My loop is now actually preceded by a Logon Message, "The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct, then type password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case." After this, I go to the logon/logoff loop. This occurs in windows logon, safe mode, administrator, or regular account. I have made no headway on the problem at all, it seems.
Having read this and Major Geeks forums comments on this problem and having visited every recommended site with hope of a solution, I am now waiting on an XP Installation CD from Dell to try the Bart PE.
I don't have a solution to offer, but wanted to make sure v1.5.2 is not given the "all-clear". If I didn't have two computers in the home to research the problem, I would have d/l the update onto this computer as well as part of the "weekend update."
Hope there is a true solution soon! If I have any success, I will post asap. Unfortunately, I seem to be undereducation for this one!
