Thanks so much fellas

Really weird problem, really great help :)

Im my professional opinion. Your entire house is haunted and ghost has set up shop in your computer/internetteicey6ch9

And I seriously wouldn't doubt that.

I've never seen this before. and it's annoying as hell

Holy hell, apparently windows created another temp-user name.

When I open the Documents and Settings under the C: drive, I have this:

"Pete"- which is my normal, everyday account

"Pete.PETE-7FEA9338D7" which seems to be the culprit dummy account

How the hell did that happen? When windows presents the normal login screen, I only have one option, and that't to log into my normal account. Why is it forcing me under this dummy account?

And yes, I am the only user on this PC. I did run AVG but it did not pick anything up, so good call on that one

So yesterday I turn my computer on, and after I get past the WinXP login screen, I get alittle prompt telling me Windows is loading my settings.

I think nothing of it until my desktop finally loads. My custom wallpaper is replaced with the generic WinXP Home wallpaper, all my icons are rearranged with most of them missing, and apparently all of my cookies were deleted.

It's as if I ran a system restore, but all my games and antivirus software is still present. What's really weird is that I start up Crysis and all of my saved games are missing.

I'm even missing pictures/movies/downloads from My Documents.

Am I missing the real obvious reason to why my computer rolled back on me? What can I do to fix this?
