    Unable to access user account
    :confused: When turning on my PC for the last couple of days it says it is unable to open my user account. I can still access all of my files when I go into windows explorer and delve into the hard drive and the account that loads up has the same name but every time I turn on my computer its like I'm starting it for the first time ever... even the Windows XP tour loads up! How can I make this end?:confused:

    If you are unable to open your user account how are you logging on to windows?
    If, as I suspect, you are using the admin account then you will always be able to access everything in the machine.

    If this happened recently have you tried a system restore to a date BEFORE this happened?
