| | 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 -- W. T. Cline |

| | 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.

| | RE: Windows XP-home Will not boot up! 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. "wtcline" wrote: Quote: > I am having an issue with the windows XP home ed. on my pc at home.
