Hello,
ive recently hit a snag, my windows xp boots up as usual to the log on screen, as soon as I imput my password, windows will play the log on sound and then just automatically log me off again, ive had many attempts to try and get windows to stay running including booting from CD and repair, but unsuccesful.

is there another way, a friend of mine suggested trying to activate the guest account at the log on screen, but I have no knowledge how and neither does he, will this rectify the problem for now?
i am planning on getting a new pc soon, but need access to my user account as there are many important documents for my work on it as well as 10Gb of music that I dont want to see vanish

any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you

I am having the same problem...put in password, logs me off right away. I ran a really good spyware/antivirus program, and it did not help. I can only run it in Safe Mode at this point, and I can't use the "Run" command in safe mode and I cannot delete the startup file, which really has nothing in it.

Need some help, on the verge of reformatting, which is something I do not want to do.

Thanks.

Malwarebytes antispyware free version will fix the problem. Run it in safe mode. Also the registry fix posted above will get past the auto log off.
