Windows XP-home Will not boot up!

I am having an issue with the windows XP home ed. on my pc at home. It was
scanned with Spybot on Monday night as well as by Norton (done first). The
next day the startup routine was different in that the "Welcome" screen was
displayed with my name in a box to click on to log in. When you click on the
log in box it begins to boot up and the generic background appears for less
than a second and then the blue screen with "Welcome" re-appears and the box
with my nane in it indicates that it is logging out and I have to shut down
to start the process over again. I have been unable to boot up windows in
safe mode, or with a disk. The "last known good configuration" mode did not
work either. I AM STUCK.

Any one have experience with this type of a problem. I know the system has
been set to download the regular Windows updates and I have Norton (grit
teeth here!) set and as stated above that night Norton ran an update and
scan. I did the follow-up with Spybot as a back-up to Norton. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

Re: Windows XP-home Will not boot up!

You need to find a usergroup with the name "windows" in it.

This is a group for DotNet developers (programmers).

Good luck.

Do a search in the Windows Forum for Spybot. The latest update from Spybot
has apparently turned many of our computers into toast. You might also want
to check the Spybot.com forum.
