During the Logon process it goes to desktop for a second and then logs off. I tried blanking out the passwords with different downloads and advice from oter forums but it didn't fix the problem. Then I remembered how you guy helped before with a blue screen problem and saved my butt and all my hair being pulled out so I decided to tempt fate one more time. I have been told that an entry in my registry needs to be changed but I can't logon so I can't get to the registry to make the change. I have tried using the recovery console but the change suggested wont fix the problem. My question: Can knoppix help me to get into the registry and make the changes that are supposed to get me to be able to log into windows XP ?

BartPE is what you are looking for. Maybe you can boot up with Konppix and download/burn BartPE that way. __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net
