August Updates (XP) Killed all user login's but one


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have 4 windows user logins on my home machine running XP home. After the

the latest auto-updates (August), I'm only able to log in using my own user

profile. The others hang up after trying to log in.

 

I went back to a restore point and all was well until the auto-update did

it's thing again. Did another restore with the internet cable unplugged and

turned off the auto update feature. Plugged the cable back in and everybody

is back on board except now I can't update the machine for fear of losing my

other users and all their email, etc.

 

Oh, I can't even create a new user. I get the same problem with newly

created users after the update.

 

Is this a known issue or something I get to deal with all by my lonesome?

John,

 

how were you able to launch system restore, in safemode or in normal

windows? I cant launch safemode after these screwed up updates.

 

Please advise...

My primary user log in is fine after the updates. It's just that all the

other logins are broken. I did the restore with the good login.

John, no expert here, but found all firewall setting except administrator was

reset after updating, however my Norton firewall indentified those needing

resetting for internet links. You may have to reset user signin and

passwords. I had to do same to get on community page.

Do you know WHICH update messed you up? I've got XP Home also, and

hope to avoid your troubles.

But, I have to do this everytime I turn on the computer. So, I restored to before the updates and all is working now, but I don't have the updates. I am using Widows Vista Home Premium. One or all of the updates caused this problem.
