I AM RUNNING WINDOWS XP HOME ADDITION, I AM LOGGED IN UNDER THE USER ACCOUNTS AS COMPUTER ADMINISTRATOR WITH APSSWORD PROTECTED. BEEN USING THIS SYSTEM FOR TWO MONTHS. EVERYTHING WORKED FINE THE FIRST MONTH, BUT FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS THE SYSTEM PREVENTS ME FROM LOADING ANY PROGRAM. EITHER OFF OF THE CDROM OR A PROGRAM I HAVE DOWNLOADED. IT WILL BEGIN TO LOAD THEN STOPS. I HAVE TRIED FOUR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS ALL RESPOND THE SAME WAY. I HAVE CHECKED ALL THE SETTINGS ON THE USER ACCOUNT, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE SET RIGHT. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO ?

Try deleting the user profile in the Documents and Settings and then reset it back up. I have seen this happen a couple of times before and it worked. Remember to save any data or favorites stored in the profile.

TRIED TO DELETE USER PROFILE BUT THE SYSTEM SAID THAT IS A WINDOWS SYSTEM PROGRAM AND IS NEEDED TO RUN WINDOWS AND CANNOT BE DELETED,,, STILL STUMPED

You cannot be logged in on the profile you are trying to delete. Either setup a new profile or log in as a different user. Then you can delete the one that you are having problems with.

Log-in as an Administrator or any other priviledged account other than what you're currently using.. Then perform, suggetion of answer#1.. if it works after you've rebooted, then try also to consider editing the policy by typing GPEDIT.MSC from the Run box.. my two cents worth!
