I'm typing this from a different computer than I regularly use. I have a problem with the other one and would really appreciate your help.

 

 

 

I log on this morning, and it has me on as a guest. I restart the computer, and still, it puts me on as a guest profile. It said to check the events log, and it said that the profile is "corrupt". Wtf?

 

 

 

I shut it down again and decided to wait awhile when I would be able to resist destroying the thing.

 

 

 

 

 

I get to the login screen (I have 32-bit Vista, so that screen), and I type in my password, and it logs me off, then immediately puts me back at the login screen. I've tried restarting, looking through manuals, and staring at it menacingly, but so far, nothing has worked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This will probably be the last computer I ever own, I'm so done with these things, it's always SOME damn thing.

Boot up with the Vista disc and choose repair, only thing i can think of atm.

 

Do you know if you have any type of malware on it?

What brand computer is it? Have you tried calling your tech support if it's still available? Maybe they can help you out?

 

 

 

You can also try asking around in this guy's chat his name is Chris Pirillo he's a techie/nerd/geek. He streams live video and has a chatroom with normally 400-500 people in it daily they are all geeks they may be able to help you out.

Malware?

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, I'll use the disk like you said, but will that take anything from my hardrive? I know it probably won't but better safe than sorry. And is there any fix for it making me a guest, or am I screwed there?

Are you able to boot up in safe mode?

Yeah, it should be able to boot in safe mode.

Have you tried?...

Alright, I just booted up in Safe Mode with networking, but internet is all that works. I'm going to try the Vista disc.

If you can boot into safe mode than that might mean you have a virus. I would scan while you were in safe mode.

Scanned. Found and removed 16 items.

 

 

 

Gonna try disc nao.

I'm starting to get really annoyed at this computer.

 

 

 

Until someone looks at it, I think I'm screwed, but I have a quick question in the meantime.

 

 

 

Safe Mode is useless, Safe Mode with Networking is useless, but with 90% more internet (the 10% being videos).

 

 

 

There's a third option, Safe Mode with Command Prompt. What does this do?

Safe mode is only for troubleshooting purposes dude. You aren't supposed to just run normally in it. :roll:

 

 

 

You said you scanned and removed the files. Have you tried booting up normally since then? :wall:

Of course I've tried booting normally since then.

 

 

 

Like I said, I'm pretty well [bleep]ed until someone looks at it.
