Hi WMT3524,

What happens? Does XP come to an empty desktop when you boot into it
and log in? Have you tried booting into safe mode by pressing the F8
key before the Windows XP splash screen comes up when booting? I'm
afraid I can't help you without more information about your problem, so
please post back and I'll help as best I can. Good luck.

Have you tried logging in with any other profiles to see if it does the
same thing?
