Maybe in safe mode, but even then you have to log on, so no, you can't.

Just repair your system using your XP CD. System restore rarely works effectively.

When you turn you pc on tap f8 and you will get a option for "last known good config" that will do the same!

Once again, system restore is a load of bullshit. If files are corrupt it won't make any difference as it just takes a snap of a few select system registry settings.

No trouble at all with XP, but that's hardly suprising as I only use it for games, MSN, HGF, Watching Videos and web dev.

you can do system restore, just press F8 before the windows screen loads and try to do it from there. have you tried safe mode.
