Hi everyone and thanks in advance for any help provided.

I came to my computer this morning and found that it had restarted overnight and was at the log on screen, but no user icons! tried double tap of ctrl,alt,del and no good with passwords, no passwords, even the administrator. googled the problem but doesn't seem to be many others who have had the same prob, and if they did it they were told to a clean install. Which i'm not keen on doing. I have a second HDD which has windows loaded so I can get into the main drive to change anything that may help. I also done a in place xp reinstall, STILL didn't work?

Any help would be great, Thanks Tim.

Welcome to geekstogo.

I have a fix for this but in order to give It we need to make sure that it is not malware first.

I suggest you go to the Malware Forum and run all the steps located in the START HERE. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post a HiJackThis Log in THAT forum. If you are unable to run and/or post a HJT log, then post that in your initial post in the topic you create in that forum.

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).
