windows xp sp2 problem

[jerico_111]

Hi!

I've installed SP2 for my windows XP home edition and
after i've restarted my PC, when i was asked, the blue
screen 'Welcome' in which i must click on my name to enter windows
appears. Until then it's normal, even thought i did not
had this screen previously (i've disabled it in SP1). But
when i click on my name it's seems like if it wanted to
open (my hard drive works) but it just keep on showing me
the same menu. I know that my internet connection works
because its showing me that i have 1 new message in my
inbox. And i have administrator rights, and i've tried in
fail safe mode (wich by the way still get me stuck in the
same menu :beigeconf )
What can i do to enter windows ? thanks.

in xp home their is a hidden admin accout in safe mode(in home you are the 2nd admin)
can you get in that account?

if not then i would do a repair install (better if you use a slipstream cd)

even thought i did not had this screen previously (i've disabled it in SP1) how did you disable it?

Ive had that a couple of times, once when my power supply was about to give up the ghost, and another when SP2 fecked up on installing.

A repair install will fix a few things hopefully to get ya back into the swing of things.
