Dell Inspirion 1000 won't log on :-(

Feb 16th, 2009

I have a Dell Inspirion 1000 that I "love" and it will not log on. It gets as far as saying "logging on, saving personal setting" but it jumps right into "logging off"!
Can someone help me with this....

Hey Jean
have your tried to start in safe mode and log into the administrator account there. Then if your able to get in try to make a new user account. Also if your able to get in you might be able to use System Restore to Restore the computer to a earlier time.
Hope this helps.

I've seen this happen when important files are missing.
What have you done recently that might have caused this, like spyware removal or registry cleaning?
Can you boot in safe mode?
