| 382093 | 2005-08-18 09:54:00 | A couple of days ago, on boot, my computer started stopping after the "Welcome" screen and demanded a password. It has never done this before. I have TweakUI set to let it boot without password. I don't even have a password. I checked in control panel and "Jack, administrator" is the only user. No mention of password there. At present I can boot in diagnostic mode. I managed to get into Tweak and ticked "show user name" and now when it stops I have to click on "jack" before I can pass welcome. Today I reformatted my C: drive and re-installed windows (xp with sp2). Everything went well for about an hour and then it started the same nonsense again. Virus check shows nothing. Any ideas? :badpc: :badpc: |
