I tried booting the computer into safe mode and logging on
to the administrator account, but I still get the same
error message that I can not logon interactively. Many,
many people are having this problem today - is it a virus?
 Is there command line text that I can use to access our
laptop from the desktop? In Windows 2000, there was a
ntrights.exe program that would have allowed me to access
the laptop. Does Windows XP have anything like that?
thanks, cindy
