check in your start up ..\nGo to START > RUN > type in " msconfig >\nthen go to START UP it should be there to uncheck\n\nIf it still runs it is probably needs to be deleted in your registry \nThat's START > RUN > Type in "regedit > click on \nHKEY_current_USER >Software> Microsoft> Windows> Current Version>Run ...what you need to delete should be here or in\n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\n>Software> Microsoft> Windows> Current Version> Run or run once

Download & install a free programme called Winpatrol from\nhttp://www.winpatrol.com/\nIt gives the company name for each of the processes in your startup. Obviously those with the company name "Microsoft" should be disabled with extreme caution..infact it's best to play safe & not disable these.\nFor the future Winpatrol looks out for& warns you about any new programme/process which wants to start up every time you start your computer. You are then able to allow or disallow....this prevents you getting into the situation you are in now when it is difficult to recognise most of these programmes/processes to know if it's safe to disable..

Only useing F12 before start up will do that.Shut off computer.Turn back on and before it gets started,hold down ctrl and alt at the same time and start clicking F12.This will take you to a reboot menu.Select down to item 4 on the list.Follow directions.This will clear your computer like the day you bought it,everything you put in will have to be put back in.All your accounts you have will still be accessable.Good luck.Keep trying because it may take a couple of time on start to get the menu to appear.

You can try to disable start up items by going to run, msconfig and then to the start up tab. DONOT DISABLE ANYTHING IF YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE OF WHAT IT IS!

Ok man, i can help you here. What you do is when your computer starts up press F8 (the buttons above the numbers on your keyboard) Go into safe mode. Then log into your acount (no password needed in safe mode) Then go to control pannel and then go to users acounts. Then you can change it without having to put your previous password in

Close the computer.\nRe-start, and keep hitting "F8" and then start in "Safe Mode"\nSign in as the administrator.\nChange or eliminate the password.\n\nDo this only if it is your computer, if it is someone elses, you would be breaking a confidence of that person, or maybe even breaking a law in your area.

If you can't remember the password, try this:\n\nReboot the computer and continuously tap the F8 key until you get a prompt that will let you boot the computer into Safe Mode.\n\nYou should see a user account called Administrator. Click on this, the password is blank/empty (no password) by default. If someone changed this password, then you're screwed and will need to either use a live linux distro to locate the SAM file and crack it - or reinstall windows xp completely (make sure you have the windows xp serial code laying around somewhere).\n\nAnyway, if you don't see the administrator account right away, click Start > Log off/log on and find it. If you have to type it in manually that will work too. If you can get into the Administrator account, you should be able to delete the old user account that you cant login to and create a new account for your friend. After that, just reboot and boot up normally.\n\nAs for identifying the computer and it's parts, download a program called CPU-Z or Belarc Advisor, they will tell you a lot of info about your computer.
