Pavillion ze1110 laptop, XP home edition.. when I start up it shows dialog box " Log On to Windows" in the same window when I click on "Options" it shows "EN" in a small blue box to the left of the OK button and the Cancel button is grayed out. ShutDown and Options buttons are ok. In User name I type "Owner" with no password, it starts to log in, it shows me my background but then it immediately begins to log off, saying it saving my personal settings. What is the problem? If anyone can help, that would be great.

What is "Owner"? Is that an Admin account? If so, why doesn't it have a password. Check the Owner account by login as Administrator. Check for login scripts that might be running with that account.

Try login with Administrator, if you can login with that user ID then the problem lies with Owner. DO NOT DELETE OWNER. Each ID has a unique System ID(SID). If you have files and folders that are secured by the Owner ID (ie no other user can access them, including Administrator), then deleting the account would render the files useless, even with a new Owner account (different SID).

EN stands for ENGLISH in the context of Windows OS. I would have to see a picture of the screen to tell you why that is.

Let me know if you need further help
