[dba-Tech] WindowsXP Pro - No Logon Screen

Fri Nov 21 10:43:52 CST 2003

Jon,
Running the repair option was his second-to-last option.  But, yes, that
appears to be where this is headed.

Erwin,
That was part of the original post.  Boot-up is apparently not recognizing
F8 and he is therefore unable to get to safe mode.  The machine does boot
"properly", but with the exception that no logon account icons are shown.

No offense Jon, but as an aside, isn't it a sad state of affairs when one
feels compelled to ask "has he got the original installation cd?"?

Did you tried to run XP in Safe mode?

If you currently installed a driver or so, you could remove it when you are
in safe mode.

Press F8 before booting.

has he got the original installation cd? Stick that in the hard drive and
run the repair option when it comes up...

If that doesn't cure it, I'd go for a reinstall...

He is not currently using a domain.  But said he will try that anyway.

blank except for the shutdown link

I searched using Google and searched the MSKB but found nothing describing
his particular situation.

Good call Rocky :-)

Does hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del bring a log on screen up? Is there anything on
screen at all?
