Logon screen has no accts showing

June 17th, 2012 - 04:18 pm ET by fred222 | Report spam
I'm running XP Home SP3 in single user mode. Up until today it
booted just fine onto my desktop. Now it stalls at the multi-user
logon screen but there are no user names displayed. Clicking in
the name area has no effect, nor does hitting 'enter'. The ReBoot
button does work. I made no changes to the system nor installed
any programs yesterday.

Suggestions anyone?
TIA

At the log-in screen (which I am assuming is the XP Welcome screen),
press Ctrl+Alt+Del and then while still holding down the Ctrl+Alt, press
Del a second time. This should bring up a classic Windows log-in
dialog. See if you can log in that way, and post back here.

Never mind.
System Restore in safe mode fixed it.
