On Windows XP, trying to log on to any account (including Administrator, even in Safe Mode) results in the following sequence:
Message says "Loading personal settings"
Within 3 seconds, message says "Logging Off".
Screen goes back to logon screen (user menu).
I am unable to get to my dekstop.

I know that when the lsass.exe is corrupted or has a buffer
overflow, it reboots. I would try Bart PE and fix the registry,
and if that doesn't work, I would try a repair with my
windows xp cd.

to logging in with another user in safe mode. It sounds like a login script problem or currupt user profile or possible virus.

If this is not an option, try slaving the drive in another unitand scan it, then blow away ntuser.dat file

Hi, got also the same problem. It could be a virus. Try this one. Boot using your Win XP cd but do not go to a fresh install, go to the "REPAIR" portion, then do not format, go to I guess its "LEAVE CURRENT FILES INTACT" (if I have the right words) its the last line in the formatting portion, so that all your personal files will be intact. and go on with the installation.

Hope this help.
