OK, i was installing a key logger because there was this kid that was comiing over may have wanted to use my computer and i wanted to make sure he werent gonna do anything to sabotage it so i got something called "pc watchdog" or something like that off of cnet. Well... i further came up with an idea that windows xp has an option that you can have a "guest" account. I had the option already on at the time from a long time ago. So i figured he could use taht. So i logged into the guest account to make sure that the watchdog would record keystrokes there as well, and after i found out that it did, i attempted to log back into administrator. This just gave me a big bubble telling me that i had the wrong name or password or domain (wich there is no domain input by the way, i know what it looks like because the comps at work have it). I booted into safe mode w/ networking and the same thing came up. i tried going into control panel to see what happened to administrator but it wasnt even there (this may be because MS dont want u playin with users when ur in guest mode but i dunno ive never tried it) so... how do i get out of guest mode??? (ive uninstalled watchdog as well and i will be perfectly happy to create a new account (there was no documents or nething in there because of a recent format 2 days ago) but it wont let me under guest mode!!!) GRR

dont critize my computer, you may be old and weak yourself some day
