| Answer» <html><body><br/>When I turn on my computer it loads the welcome screen and I click the user symbol to log on. It says 'Loading Personal Settings' as usual. Unfortunately, once the settings have <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/loadedbrbr-2797226" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOADED">LOADED</a> it immediately says 'Saving Settings' and automatically logs off and back onto the Welcome screen. It doesn't allow me to see the desktop so I cannot change any files.<br/><br/>I tried opening windows in Safe Mode, but its the same, so I can't use System Restore. I have also tried loading the Last Know Config. and it is the same thing. <br/><br/><br/>I had recently run my anti-virus then spyware s&d. The S&D<br/>picked up some adware which it removed then prompted for a reboot, which I did, then I hit my problem. <br/><br/>I do have a boot floppys, but not the product CD and key.<br/><br/>Please help?Use the Windows XP CD-ROM as a boot disc and use the Repair console.Ah - but there is the problem.
