Everytime I try to log on, it successfully logs but automatically logs out by itself and goes back to the login screen. It started when I was aware of an infection and decided to uninstall my current protection (Mcafee) and then I installed AVG, cleaned the infections and AVG requested I restart my computer. I did so and the login error occured. I've tried -safemode -lastknowngoodconfig -and other whatnot ~I was wondering if I could just install another harddrive, format that with Windows and then copy my pics from the messed up hardrive over to my new one. any tips and how-to's? i dont really want to reformat i my aunt keeps alot of family pictures in it. i greatly appreciate it. :]
