Hi Nam,

How many user names have you got?

If you untick "Use the Welcome Screen" can you access them?

plus a bit of housekeeping:

Please do the following:
Start - My Computer
Right click C:
Select Properties – Tools – Error Checking –Check Now
Tick the box: Automatically Fix File System Errors
Ensure the box underneath (Scan for errors) is not ticked
Click Start
The PC will tell you it can’t do it now but on a reboot
Reboot computer

and report back

ok done this still nothing

According to the screenshot you have only the one username.

So if you want to boot using a password

1. Change the password on that account

2. Add another user

it may be worth checking to see if autologin is configured - do this:

click start > run
type "control userpasswords2"

check that the "users must enter a username and password"...option is ticked
