Your user account has become corrupted. Log into the built-in Administrator account and create a new user account for yourself. Log into the new account once to create the profile's files/folders. Then copy the data from the old user account to the new one. To get into the built-in Administrator account in XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here. Once in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden Administrator account. The default password is a blank. In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up Windows.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
