How to stop xp lost / forget my password and force me to restart after only one or two days of availability editions home and professional

Title says it pretty well, but it is on two different AMD multi-core cpu with a list programs installed for the most part identical and quite long.  I hope that it is a problem of xp, someone has already found and fixed even if I don't the have not found in several searches.  Before that everyone assumed that I forgot my password, let me assure you that is not and has not been and will not be the problem; but when (after one day or more available), I'm trying to connect with my correct password, xp persistently asks me if I forgot it and of course, this means I have to restart, with its side effects, in order to refresh the memory of xp apparently and allow me to connect.  For what it's worth, in this case, no matter if I 'disconnect' screen lock or me with the Windows key + combination L or even to pass time until the locking screensaver mechanism is used automatically.  It seems that over the years something in a few key file or registry or RAM or what is get corrupted, but what is the solution?  I don't remember what happens until fairly recently, so can it be caused by something changed by one of the most recent Windows updates?  Another thought that occurs to me would be whether there all known software conflicts have caused something like this?   I don't run a server, but I have still xp does not have to be reloaded every day or almost and prompt me to worry what else may be getting damaged as well as my password.  I've kept ZoneAlarm Extreme Security uptodate and analyzed regularly without viral invasions/epidemics coming to my attention, so I am at a loss to point a finger there, too.  All my other software is widely used, as surely as if she caused this problem, others would have reported such a conflict before now (?).  Oh, and I don't do betas (unless you count an occasional Release Candidate), so I don't have this kind of problems.  I know that's not the most urgent global problem, but it always makes me think for a moment, what happens if he loses or forget my password - so what I'll do if the restart does not resolve, even if only temporarily.  I guess you could consider my reboot of a workaround, but I want to find is something that is more durable than all of this, please.  I understand there is a somewhat similar problem involving mode XP of Windows 7 and apparently it may concern unique aspects of this OS, but maybe there's an analogy?  Also, is there a limit to (or how to limit) the number of times where XP will connect a particular user (or user attempt?)?   If so, I would like to know how and where this can be changed, to see if it helps me everything.  Remember, however, there must be something that will work on Home and Professional Editions, that's why he left me speechless.  Oh yes, I want to emphasize that both of my computers are free standing without any local network operating, etc., just a router to access internet and shared printer.  If there is more information you need from me, just post a reply with what you want and I'll try to get back with her in 24 hours, if possible.

Hi victorwhitehead,

 

Method 1:
I suggest you perform a SFC scan and check.
To Perform a Scan SFC -

a. click Start, click programs, on Accessoriesprincipally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow

b. type the following command and press ENTER:

sfc/scannow

A message appears indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient, because the analysis may take some time

c. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. Hopefully though you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

d. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

Check the link for more information on CFS below the scan mentioned:
