I have the "Welcome Screen" and "Fast User Switching" Enabled for my computer startup. When Windows XP starts up, I get to the part where it says, "Windows is loading..", and but Windows never loads up. It just keeps showing that, and the Welcome Screen never loads up. Although, right before the Welcome Screen loads up, there is a black background and a box that has an "Okay" button and some kind of message that says, "Windows could not log you on. Make sure that the Password and Username is typed in correctly and try again.", but it shows that screen then shows up to the "Windows is loading.." screen really quick, but if I click that "Okay" button real quick before the "Windows is loading.." screen shows up, then the Welcome Screen will load up right away and I can log into my Account's.

I want to load up Windows normally where the Welcome Screen loads up and it shows all my Accounts that I can log into.

I have 2 Accounts. One of the Accounts is the Default Windows "Administrator" Account with Administrator privileges, and a Password. My other Account is named, "Admin", with Administraotr privileges, and it has a Password.

How do I fix this issue so Windows loads up like normal?! :whistling:

Hi Powerslave...

What's the message in the box with the "Ok" button? That's going to be the main bit of information we need here.
