Windows XP Corrupted User Profile

by dyett . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

While running a virus scan, my XP machine suddenly rebooted, then I got the corrupt user profile message. But instead of logging me on to a new account, as the prompt indicated, the logon screen with only my damaged profile came up. Clicking on the damaged log name starts a logon process, which almost immediately aborts, and logs off again (i.e., back to the logon screen). Is there any way to get out of this loop so I can log on and fix the corrupted profile?

Thanks,
D.
