I am having the same problem, although I have not tried to use the safe mode yet.

I am wondering if it would be better to hook up another hard drive to the computer, load Windows XP on it, and then transfer the files you want to save?

I would think you would have to access the safe mode somehow to do that but I do not know for sure.

There is a older post titled "Windows XP: Cannot get past the login screen" at URL: <http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6142_102-0.html?messageID=2951898&tag=forums06;search-results#2951898>.

The guy who had this problem was a laptop user. I am using a desktop, I do not know if it makes a difference.

They refer to a Microsoft document At URL: <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151>. Which gives some detail.

This all started when I blocked a "Windows NT" file of some kind when my TrendMicro antivirus asked me if I wanted to do so. Like a dummy I clicked on "block." Then it asked me for my Windows password. I just clicked on "enter' and Windows locked up.
