XP Booting Problems

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

Each time the computer is re-booted, it always return to the original boot
screen, and behaves as if Windows-XP was just installed. As a result, certain
personal settings, including internet settings are reversed, and have to be
re-established aftert each boot.

This behavior also occurs by just switching between acconts, but with only
one account out of four (4) being affected in this way.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Those symptoms imply a corrupt profile. It's easy enough to fix if that's
the problem.
