Logon problems.
Hi again everyone, I'm back with another problem
This one has baffled me. Just before I go through the problem, I want to say I don't have an external drive for backups/system images, nor can I afford one, the only backup I have on the laptop HD is way back, just after a clean install, which is useless.
Now, this has only started when I was on holiday, a few days back. After a shut down for the night, I booted up the laptop. As normal, I typed in my password (I know I have typed it up right, which will become clear later) and pressed enter. Also, as normal, the screen flashed, has the 'Welcome' word loading, flashed again then came straight back to the logon screen, without any password entered. So the first thing I thought of, was to boot up in safe mode, remove the password from my account, then restarting. I noticed, the problem did not reoccur in any of the Safe Mode options. When restarting though, the same problem occurs. I booted in Safe mode yet again to try the SFC command. It had found errors, said they were repaired, so I restarted. The problem is still there. Next command, chkdsk. Still not working. before the problem, I had not changed any settings in Windows, programs or the registry at all. Right now I am in Safe mode with networking.
Now am back home with an internet connection (Can't live without one ), I am hoping I can get help from you guys.
Thanks,
Dom.
