I am running XP SP2.  I am no longer able to log into Windows.  Both my
Administrator account and single user account are not password protected so I
have never needed to enter them nor have I ever been promted.
As I boot up I now get the blue welcome screen and see the icon for ...

The instruction at 0x00ab0183 referenced memory at 0x88abe421. The memory
could not be written. Click ok to terminate.
Any help, sorry if I am in the wrong newsgroup.

Ok Big Al will do as you suggest many thanks for your info.
