Not able to log into my pc

[hdesbiens]

Hi

i have a weird problem with my windows xp, when i arrive to the logon screen i see my user icon and click on it but it stays there and throws me a windows asking me to click YES or No with no message on the windows.

if i start in safe mode without network no problem but with network i have the same problem.

is there anyone who experienced this problem?

my other question is how could i recuperate my tcp/ip adresses, dns and other params configured on my network if im not able to log on?

thanks a lot

I can e-mail you an ISO of a boot cd that can reset passswords. But it isn't for noobs. the are little to no instructions. But if your system is set to boot to domain then that could be the problem, and without network support then you can't log into a domain anyway. Mabey on of the other guys might hav ea better soltuion then resetting passwords.

Bad NIC?

Does it boot of with it disconnected (or disabled if onboard?). If it does, just try replacing it - they're very cheap.

i see my user icon". Is this on the Welcome Screen? I am just asking because it seems this is a Standalone machine or part of a small LAN Workgroup and not part of a Domain?

In Safe Mode, check for malware.

Some general things to try.

See if System Restore will get you back to a restore point before your problem with Windows.

Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click your Drive icon/ Properties/ Tools/ Error Checking.

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.
