hey guys, Ive been trying to figure this out all day. I can not login to windows xp... the login process starts and then quickly swithces to logging off... I have tried everything I can think of, from clearing the registry, checking out various registry flags such as for userinit, ive disabled services, uninstalled several things and a ton of other things. does anyone know what the problem may be? thanks.

Anyone shoved a call to shutdown.exe in your startup folder or RunOnce reg key by any chance?

Just out of curiousity, how did you do this without login in?

Are you using a laptop?

Did you recently clone/do a switch with your harddrive? You can get into that kind of a weird loop if the NTFS label on the drive is not C (the OS boots from the "boot drive", thinking it is C up until the login process, then the login process attempts to load the rest of your setup from drive C...which does not exist or does not contain Windows).

Tried safe mode?

Dunno if that would do anything, but it might.
