Can't log in thru admin screen

I have WIndows XP SP3. I have an admin screen set up, one for guests and one
for me which is password protected.

As soon as I log into my account with my password or try to use the guiest
account, Windows starts to load, I can see the wallpaper, then logs me out
(logging off message). I can not get into my computer to access the programs.
I;ve booted in safe mode but safe mode has the admin page too and does the
same thing.

Any ideas short for F-disk? :-)

All day today my computer has been displaying this warning box intermittently. It read:

Access violation at address 3010DBDA in module 'Flash9f.ocx'. Read of address 00000034.

What does that mean and how can I solve the problem. Apart from the warning box, my notebook works
fine.

System - Windows XP Pro Media Centre Edition.

Mark,
As I mentined I tried Safe mode, ALL categories. When in Safe mode Command
Prompt I'm asked to "Please select the operating system to start:". The only
option is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. When I select that it takes me
to the Admin login in screen and my troubles start all over again. I can't
log in as I'm immediately logged out. It does load my 'preferences' then
immediately logs me out. It doesn't matter if I'm in safe mode or normal
mode. I even tried to load from the "D: drive with the "Application and
Driver Recovery DVD". I also tried to reload XP from the D drive but can't
get past the admin login page.

You may (since it takes the password) be able to get to the Recovery Console
prompt from a boot to the setup CD (press 'r' for repair at the first
screen). If so, run the command:
LOGON

If no help, you may be able to re-expand the file winlogon.exe from the
setup CD.
Something like:
D:/i386/expand.exe D:/i386/winlogon.ex_ %windir%/system32/winlogon.exe

The last 2 sentences in my last communication went something like this:

Is this what you are suggesting? If so, I've tried to boot from both the XP
disk and the recovery disk. I changed the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot
first from the D drive. It still takes me to the admin page first and I can't
get past that.
This is a tough one for sure!

You can try downloading a BartPE disk to boot to. This might let you do a
repair of winlogon.exe.
