I used the forums to get the info I would need to get the thing to only require us to hit an "OK" button so we wouldn't have to enter a password every time. Now the screen, which used to pop up, won't show up or only shows intermittently at startup and Windows shows the "Windows is starting up" screen and just hangs and hangs without taking me to the "Welcome" screen. This particular problem only started last night. I'd really love to get that thing off to be able to use it hassle-free.
Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. I also ran a disk check and am still unable to get the pc to fully boot. I am able to move the pointer on the welcome screen in safe mode but not during a normal boot. The pc still freezes up at the welcome screen. Does anyone know of any other solutions other than a fresh O. S, install or replacing the hard drive? I read somewhere that removing programs from the startup menu may work, but do not know how to achieve this in command line.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Well in this case we would remove the hard drive and insert it as a secondary drive in to a "safe" computer. We have an external sata dock that we can pop these kind of drives into. Then we scan the hard drive with our favorite antivirus and malware tool. There is something keeping the system from booting which is probably a root kit infection or a virus.
If removing the hard drive is not an option then we will boot with the ultimate boot cd into Bart PE. Once there we will use the embedded tools and attempt to clean the disk. Either option will allow us to extract any important files because the last resort is to wipe the hard drive and start over. If this is the case we have the important files tucked away on another storage device.
I assume the computer is new brand and the problem is the wrong setup or installation. Enter the boot menu check the boot-screen for setup key, sometimes it is Del or F2. Then check the hard disk configuration , if RAID is setup with one disk only, that is the problem.
One of the nice things about XP is how malleable it is. No problem—change it. Take my splash screen, please! Many people, myself included, would prefer to see a more interesting splash screen also called the startup screen than the default gives you on start-up.
You can change your splash screen to any of hundreds that have been created, or make one of your own—for example, with your picture or company logo on it. You can see it pictured in Figure Figure It will be downloaded as a. If something goes wrong, you can revert to that restore point.
Unzip the contents of the. There will be one or more files, including ReadMe files. Click Windows Secret in the utility's left pane and choose User Accounts. Click "Enable auto log-on," select the account you want to log into automatically, enter the account's password and domain name if necessary , and click Save. The next time you start the PC, Windows will start and open that account automatically. I didn't need to download the program to my XP test machine because that system already has Tweak UI , Microsoft's free XP-reconfiguration utility that lacks a Vista version.
In the Set Autologon Password dialog box, enter the account's password in each of the two text boxes and click OK. Why bypassing the Windows log-on is dangerous Setting Windows to open an administrator account automatically is risky, period.
