Serious Logon Problems...

[apaxfrenzy]

So, I came home today, booted up my computer and after typing my password at the welcome screen, it stalls. So, I reboot, do the same thing, and it loads a plain-jane version of Windows with all of my settings for all of my software gone. I was able to figure out that it appeared to be logged into my account, but it wasnt. It was logged into a TEMP account (and there is a TEMP folder under Docs and Settings.)

Does anyone know what the deal is? This has never happened. Before I left, I turned my computer off and nobody has been on it at all.

Please help! I'd really wish to not re-install Windows today. Thanks!


Peace,
Dave

I'm thinking your profile got corrupted somehow.

You don't say whether you got the error mentioned in that article, but it sounds like a similar issue.

Here's a thread from a user with a similar issue:
