I went to www.themexp.org last night on my new computer and downloaded a new XP Boot Screen along with a new Login Screen. Well, I followed the instructions and booted into Safe Mode and once in Safe Mode I replaced the old boot screen file along with the old log in screen file with the new ones (Yes, I backed both and have the backups in a folder). Well, I then restarted my machine and instead of a boot screen appearing and Loading Windows XP, nothing happens. It just sits there, yes I waited a while for it to try and load. I restarted the computer with the restart button (couldn't alt+cntrl+del) and it comes up saying WinXP didn't load. So, I say to my self "oh well the boot screen doesn't work, I'll just put my backup back in and have the original loaded" well.. I try and get into Safe Mode, and it freezes too! So I say to myself again "ok, screw it.. lets just go back to the newest working configuration for Windows that it had" well.. that didn't work either. So, I put in the WinXP Install CD (to go into the repair mode and into DOS) and get into DOS and try using the command "Copy C:\Tim\Backup\logonuin.exe C:\Windows\System32" (I know that's not the file name and that would be for the logon, but I can't remember the actual file name) and it says "Access Denied" I can't even change directories in DOS to go into my File.

Could I possibly just delete the current "logonuin" (for logon) and then the boot file and pray that it will reload it on there with the original?

Thanks in advance for the help.
