Unknown Startup Problem

by coombzee . Updated 22 years ago

I have Win XP with 256mb RAM and 1.7ghz processor

I have been struck with a severe startup problem which is not letting me access my desktop. I startup the computer as normal and all settings displayed on startup seem to be fine. It takes me to the standard XP “welcome” screen then I click on my username. This is odd as I only have one user. Anyway after I select my username it loads as normal then flashes the desktop background(“Follow” background)and then says “saving your settings”, “Logging Off” and takes me back to the login. I have tried safe mode and all other options displayed but none of them help. The system is currently at the local technicians but he cannot see what is wrong. He has checked it with “Checkdisk” or similar but it has not proved anything. He is keeping it for a while while he works on it. I thought I would try this incase someone knew what could help.
Can someone help me?

Thankyou
