I have a Sony VGN-A690 that won't log on. It would boot up and I could see my desktop. Right before I could see any icons, it logs out automatically. After that, I click on my username and it doesn't even attempt to log in at all. Before all of this, my computer would log in by itself because I never set a username or password. What would I need to do?
Thanks.

You may have a virus or Windows is corrupted. I would say your best bet is to store your computer back to factory condition with your recovery CDs or load Windows in Safe Mode.
-
I've tried safe mode, but the same thing happens. Right now, I don't want to reformat the HD because there are things in there I don't want to lose.
-
Isn't there a repair function when you put in the recovery CDs? Give that a go
-
Do I have to have the recovery cd?
-
Yes you would need it.
Or, worst case scenario - take our the hard drive, load the files onto another computer via USB cable and restore your entire system. -
I can't figure out how to take out the hard drive.
-
If you want send me a pm and I will tell you how to get a Vista recovry cd and also I couyld help you how to get the hard drive off.
-
an easy way (which I have done before), is to boot an ubuntu live cd so that you can boot (linux os). then plug in a flash drive or external drive and copy all your important files on it. once everything you need is saved, do your recovery/restore.
you'll need to download the ubuntu .iso file and burn it to dvd on another computer.
