If your system won't let you login there is only one other thing to do....reinstall the OS.
This can be done without overwriting any of the files you have personally saved.
Restart your machine with your XP OS disc in the CD drive and make sure that it reads this before reading the HDD (hard-drive).
Once you ask the CD to load XP again let don't choose "fresh copy" choose "repair". This will remove the "nasty"
files that Service Pack 3 installed and then reinstall the original files you need.
I just realized something:
I have a dell with XP media edition. I don't have an OS "disc". The operating system is stored internally. Anyone know how to access it?
Sorry to be a pain...
