no user account on my windows xp!

Ive just made a system reset on my computer acer laptop. I went through the installation of windows xp again but I think I must have done the bit of bad users. I have the log on screen, but the user I thought I created isn't here. So I can't go past this screen to create an account. Any ideas?

On the screen, press Alt + Ctrl + delete.  This should bring up a dialog box where you can type a user name and password.  If the one you have created does not work, try to enter the 'administrator' user and leave the password empty (unless you assigned a different password to the administrator).  This, you should get logged as administrator.  You can then go to the user control panel and create/modify user accounts.

HTH,

  • Corruption, massive in almost all of the network services user account and firewall Windows

    Win 7 Pro SP 1. An account with administrator privileges. Domestic wireless access to a router; D-link devices. System was working fine until about seven 2 (and I pointed out some Windows updates installed September 1, but don't think it's relevant). Computer users allege no unusual behavior on their part Analyses of viruses from Windows Defender and Avast free were clear. Restoring from a previous restore point (two different ones) has not solved the problem - the restore points were date known system OK. Corruption has been maintained despite the restorations (worked and failed).

    A complaint that has lost network access. On the survey, found that all these symptoms mentioned below, and no doubt other symptoms exist that I am not aware of. The solution was to create a new user account, and which restored massive configuration problems.

    Symptoms:

    1 Windows Firewall could not turn on. Yes, I looked at the KBs regarding this issue (basic dependencies does not and so on) and tried individual hotfixes from the KB, without success.

    2. in the network sharing Center, there was no display of the usual icons at the top of this window. Those who show the personal computer connected to the router connected to the internet. Error message displayed re no dependence of base.

    3. it is possible to send signals between the USB wireless device on the computer and the wireless router. In the task area, the Windows message was 'limited connectivity', something like that. It was possible to connect and disconnect using this facility. But no internet access, notes.

    4. the resolution of the problems would not be executed. The message was that political diagnostics are not running. All attempts to start this service (with its two assistance services) has failed. Tried the individual patches of the relevant KB (wearing mostly on change permissions in the registry at some points), which failed.

    5. in addition, the Dhcp client service would not be executed. Once again, among the KBs tried the proposed fix on the permissions change, which failed. (Omitted in the sense that I could not always start the service; editing the registry was fine).

    5. firewall KB contained a file "beats" that you can create and run, I did, and another had similar commands (start and stop some services) that could be run in a command window. Both failed on some services - especially Mspsvc (Microsoft protection Service) - Although the success was shown to other services.

    6. when I created a new user profile, I re-entered the registry permissions in some of these places just to see what was different. In the damaged user profile, what was missing, it was the standard system of services (about 3 or 4 of them; things like the name of Dhcp). What showed was the News user account (for the specific user account; administrator; and two more points).

    Telling me that something has released a complete subsystem or three. Never seen this behaviour before.

    Would be nice to have an idea where to look for a fix / restore procedure.

    Hello

    Thank you for providing us with brief information on the specific issue that you are facing the computer.

    I would like to know, have you been able to access the network on the new user profile?

    As you have tried several steps including the change of permission for the registry value and run the batch file, I would ask to perform Scan SFC.

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    For more information on how to scan SFC, please see the Microsoft Support Article below.

  • How many user accounts can use windows via VMware Fusion?

    I installed the latest version of fusion on my machine and a copy of windows XP. It is very good and I am impressed by the ease and speed of it. However, I am the administrator and my 3 kids have accounts of users on the same computer. When my son connects to his user account and Fusion to do some homework on one only program windows at startup, it is not a virtual machine at startup. This means that using merge I cannot use a mac user account? Can I move the windows folder to a location for all to use or y at - it a setting I need to change in Fusion? Maybe, I need to install windows again on his account. If Yes this will cause other potential problems and hog hard disk space unnecessarily. I would prefer merger to the boot camp because I need for windows and mac at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forums!  Yes, you can use XP with multiple users.

    There is some info on this in the Beginner's Guide to VMware Fusion

    Here is an excerpt:

    Only one person can be using the VM to

    a time (and the fast user switching does not count). Suspension (and

    maybe taken snapshot) the VM will probably cause others to not

    be able to use the virtual machine.

    Important: whenever you produce operations (move, copy, edition, deletion, etc.) in a virtual machine, make sure it is turned off and the Fusion is not running. You don't want to change data in Fusion.

    To do this, are the main things you need to do:

    • Move the virtual machine to a shared location for others users can access

      • An example of this is/Users/Shared /.

    • Change the permissions so that any user can access the virtual machine

      • In the Finder, select the virtual machine, and then select read the information. Then
        "Ownership and permissions > other" change "read and write".
        (I don't know if you need to do this also for access to the Group). You too
        need to do this for the contents of the virtual machine - do not forget the forest earlier
        on how to get inside a package? And repeat the Get Info
        correction on everything in the bundle

  • How to remove a user account remotely in Windows 8 Pro?

    Hey people!

    I have a rather embarrassing question here, which is not urgent, but gives me great concern.
    I am an administrator as COMPUTER technician (sort of... without... self-taught qualifications only) to a small property management organization.
    I am currently looking for another job, and when you want to leave I might have is any more access to the desktop. I have always (it's the PC I am writing this post since).
    I am connected with my private microsoft account, even I use it everywhere, including my own laptop computers and the family too. Needless to say that there is information only I have access to, but I didn't want any hack - in a tent in the future. After all, this is my personal account.
    Is there a way to not just turn off sync and access to my account on this computer, but force the system to delete my files on this computer using my account from another computer? even if the files cannot be removed remotely (they are encrypted), if there is a way to prevent my account appears in the settings and the user selection screen would be a great help.
    Please note that, from now on, I need to have my account on this PC so that I can access information on the server of office on the fly if needed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    PS: Yes, I said I am a technician, but please note that it is not my job. I'm more in the development of a set of security features of Windows. Everything I know about computers come from self-education (experiences and failures in my childhood), and even though I consider myself a very thorough person, beyond the level of the user, I have to admit that I'm not an expert. especially when it comes to advanced safety features. but my mind is open to suggestions and ideas...

    There is no one way to do this unless you have the device software and server management suites.  So basically, not unless you are a massive company.  But even in this case, there is no absolute guarantee, because the company could just disconnect the network and then you'd never a way to send a command to this computer anyway to clear it.  So any local administrator on the computer can still watch all the files, regardless of what protection/security configure you (administrators are like God: they can always see everything without any restrictions at all).

    How can I permamnetly delete the user account in Windows xp?

    1. 1

      Go to the control panel. There are several ways to do this, but the most common is to go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Control Panel" on the right side. Follow whatever it is more convenient for you.

    2. 2

      Click on "user accounts" in the window that appears. Or, you see the standard view (with lines of icons) or the display of the categories (which is explicit). Both have a shortcut to the user accounts Control Panel.

    3. 3

      If a control panel is not yet made, click the 'user accounts' Panel at the bottom of the window. If so, you can skip this step.

    4. 4

      Click the link you want to get rid of any user account.

    5. 5

      The next window will have a list of actions you can do for the user account, one of which will be "remove account". It is the action that you'll want to click on.

    6. 6

      The last window that you will see will ask you if you want to keep the soon-to-be-used user represents the files in a folder on your desktop. It's your choice here.

  • Switching between user accounts my Windows Firewall is still disabled?

    Recently created a new user account on my Windows Vista just for my girlfriend and I can keep things separate and I noticed that whenever I connect to the newly created user account, it goes through the normal boot process but then I see that the shield of WF on the bottom right of the screen is red and it warns me that the Windows Firewall is not on.  I can simply click and put it back on but why is - this?  Whenever I sign with my other user account, the firewall is already turned on.  I think I checked all the appropriate settings, but I can't work. It would be a disappointment if the firewall must be enabled manually whenever it connects...

    Humor me.

    Create an another useraccount with exactly the same type of account that you have problems with.
    Ligon to this newly created account. Is also turned off firewall on ot?

    If the firewall is OK to this new account, then for some reason the other account is damaged.
