windows installprob
Anyone really good with Windows XP professional?
I am not, having only been using it for a few weeks. However my laptop(compaq) normally opens to the desktop. The other day, being stupid ( I am being that alot lately) I was fiddling with something in Windows and the next time I turned on the laptop it went to the window where you have multiple users (with their names are and passwords?) I dont have any other user so normally I do not see this window e x c e p t for now ... well it opens to this window and there is noone ( no nmaes, no administrator or anything!) and I cant go anyfurther other than to turn off. Now by chance I have a new copy of windows XP professional and I try to give it a "clean install" the CD wont even work. Any ideas,? any help? what can I do? Normally not this stupid and I have used Windows for 10 years (w3.11.w95 w98) The remedy would be great, ? thanks in advance felicity |

It would help to know what you were "fiddling with." User Accounts in
Control Panel possibly? HH "barbibiz" wrote in message ... Anyone really good with Windows XP professional? I am not, having only been using it for a few weeks.

Thanks for your advice, but there is no administrator box just the page that would normally have that on. Felicity "GasMan" wrote in message ... Try Ctrl Alt Delete and enter Administrator for the username, leave the pw blank and see if that gets you in.

Thankyou to the people whom replied re my problem: it now has been fixed..
I installed a new copy of windows XP professional.. did it by putting the CD in and then re starting it and then somehow going from there..but it is working fine now. It did ask my name so it could set up that horrid page. thanks again felicity "barbibiz" wrote in message ... Anyone really good with Windows XP professional?
