Windows XP entering your password?

[robspankthemonkey]

Ok! then sorry to of asked so many questions recently but some of you seem to be really clued up on these sort of things so here we go!

When i start up my computer (Windows XP) obviously one of the first things you do is click on the symbol (wot ever it may be) next to your name, then it goes to the bit where you then type in your password,

Now this is where my problem is, why some times will it not let me type in my password, when i try and type it in it just does nothing, so i then turn off my computer and turn it back on again then it lets me type my password in, no problems.

Is this normal and just a problem with windows XP or is it my computer ( that is steadily getting nearer to a johnny Wilkinson style drop kick out the window)!

Any body got any ideas on this, or is Wilkinson and Window wot is required!

Thanks in anticipation!

Have you tried the John Cleese approach ? twat it with branch off a tree, failing that, try this advice which has got numerous pc/laptop users out of the shit, take your pc/laptop outside and throw it under the first wagon that comes along, never a problem with it again.

Get rid of the password option,if it crashes you could lose all your pics etc because they will be password protected & it will take hrs to unlock each file.

had a similar problem, could be a problem with the mouse driver

Mine did it sometimes before I reinstalled windows recently, try plugging your keyboard out and back in when it does it.

If you're the only user of the PC there's just no point in having to log on. Here's instructions on how to get around it...

It offers an extra line of defence against remote access to your files.

True enough, but there's other ways of doing that too.

Why wont Bluemoon remember my password and username and log me back in when i have asked it to log me in every time, and even asked Firefox to remember my password as well, and even that has decided to not work, have i disabled them in some sort of way! TA!
