Lockup During Deleion of User Account

[Richard]

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

With XP Pro SP-2 While deleting an account the process locked up ( I had
already clicked delete files). I used the task manager to close the control
panel. The user account still shows up however, when logging on error occurs
whwn serching for files. For some reason the files were deleted but the user
account still exits. I have tried deleting it several times but a lock up
continues.

Any suggestions?

Thank you Richard

I would try a Repair setup.

If you run an XP "Upgrade"setup, from the original, or "Gold" version of the setup CD, and you have SP2 installed, it might go into
a setup loop, and you could lose your install. Uninstall SP2, BEFORE you Upgrade setup from CD (that lacks sp2 on it.)

Unfortuneatly I did not use an upgrade CD but an SP-2 original disk. I will
l look into this further.

Thanks for the advise.
