See <a href='http://www.activewin.com/tips/tips/microsoft/winxp/basic/20.shtml'>http://www.activewin.com/tips/tips/microsoft/winxp/basic/20.shtml</a> for how. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xp-crashes-after-i-click-on-username-help-#post-34913 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:11:56 +0000 silverbantam 34913@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>A couple of weeks ago my XP PC started playing up. When I switch it on it loads up ok and I get the screen with the usernames. When I click on the username and enter my password the PC crashes and restarts after a few seconds.</p> <p>I have tried everything I can think of including System Restore, Windows Recovery Console, Virus Scan and Registry Repair but it still crashes.</p> <p>At the moment I am login on using Safe Mode with Networking which means I can use the internet but I can't use my printer or play music.</p> <p>Does anyone know of any good software I could use to try and fix my PC or any other advice. </p>
