Hi!

Today when I started my desktop PC I had to first fix some errors like disc read error, NTLRD missing and a file called hal.dll.
I was not able to fix the file so I reinstalled XP over my old install.
Then when I then booted I got to the logg on screen and choosed my usuall user (only have one, would be glad to skip that step) and here I got the trouble I now have.

Evry time I choose my user account, windows starts to load my personall settings but then changed to logging out. I have tried to boot from safe mode and it gives the same thing. I have no clue wy this is happening and would be glad to get some help on how to fix this.

Regards

If you can do that then you can do as I suggested above, there is no point formatting and reinstalling until we know what is going on, or you will just be wasting your time, that should be used as a last resort, but with the same aim in mind, no point wasting time looking for solutions for something that may be faulty, so although it may seem a bit of a waste, by proving if the drive is good or bad gives you peace of mind as thats either the problem, or it can be crossed off the list, so once we know that we can try and use a tool to reset the password if that is all the problem is, but given the issues you were having prior to this, it suggests it is a hardware issue.
