well ok i went to where u said and yes welcome screen is checked in the box and also user switching is also checked on and i did try other restore points but they all had the same out come?U wanna jus start from square one, since we are back to where we started

and i jus go this thing from DH saying that my computer is has a critical error, it says i have critical system errors and that its causing applications to crash and slow computer speeds?

Try safe mode & see if you can enter both accounts.

reboot & repeatedly tap the F8 key after the BIOS POST (or Logo) & before Windows starts. Choose start in safe mode from the options. What happens then?

i did that b4 system restore and it allowed me to go on my moms name soo that works fine?wat now?

In Safe Mode from your account you can copy your moms' data to a new account & then delete the old (corrupted) account.

Copy a User Profile:

Open System in Control Panel then Advanced. On the User Profiles tab, and under Profiles stored on this computer, click the user profile you want to copy, and then click Copy To.

In the Copy To dialog box, under Copy profile to, type the location for the new profile, or click Browse to select the path.
Click Change to open the Choose User dialog box, click a new user from the Names list, and then click Add. The new user name will appear in Add Name. Click OK to add the user as a new user profile on your computer.

Note: You must be logged on as an administrator to the local computer to copy user profiles. To open a Control Panel item, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click the appropriate icon.

How to Copy User Data to a New User Profile

Note: You cannot copy to or from the account you're logged in on.

ok that was alot of things to let me know about in one time = ), but i am jus wondering if copying an account will resume the problem cuz like i said after i did a system restore once and it didnt work my moms account''sudently started working'' and mine went back to the problem she has did i explain that? and how can i copy it to or from when i only have 2 accounts im confused = (

and wat name do i fix my moms name which is fine now, or do i fix mine since my is the one having the same problem

I can't say that it will solve the problem; it is just the best thing I can think of to try.

The idea is to create a new account. And then working from within the working account copy the 'bad' account to the new account.

This is taken directly from the above microsoft link:

Create a New User Profile in Windows XP Home Edition

1. Log on as the Administrator or as a user with administrator credentials.
2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. Click User Accounts.
4. Under Pick a task, click Create a new account.
5. Type a name for the user information, and then click Next.
6. Click an account type, and then click Create Account.

Copy Files to the New User Profile

1. Log on as a user other than the user whose profile you are copying files to or from.
2. In Windows Explorer, click Tools, click Folder Options, click the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders, click to clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK.
3. Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive on which Windows XP is installed, and Old_Username is the name of the profile you want to copy user data from.
4. Press and hold down the CTRL key while you click each file and subfolder in this folder, except the following files:
• Ntuser.dat
• Ntuser.dat.log
• Ntuser.ini
5. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
6. Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\New_Username folder, where C is the drive on which Windows XP is installed, and New_Username is the name of the user profile that you created in the "Create a New User Profile" section.
7. On the Edit menu, click Paste.
8. Log off the computer, and then log on as the new user.

Note You must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile.

hey b4 i do it than u answer me a couple of ?s.I am not trying to bad mouth wat u jus told me to do but?umm u think i should still go ahead and delete my moms acccount even thought after i did a system restore her account worked and the bug was transfered onto my name?i jus though it was weird that my moms account was fixed but my got messed up soo can u help understand why it might do that?then watever u think to do i will do thanks man

I am searching for a reason why System Restore would have done that.

Did you try System Restore in Safe Mode?


Anyway:

In the mean time it is not neccessary to delete anything yet.

The idea is to create a new account then copy over the 'bad' accounts data.

If after that everything seems to work then you can consider deleting.

There is no harm creating a new account as you can always delete that if this doesn't work.
