I have the Averatec C3500 with the Tablet PC edition, and have continuously
experienced this problem. When I start up the computer, the screen will get
up to the 'Windows is starting up' message, and sit there for over 10
minutes. Finally, a message will pop up that says that the system is not able
to log me in, to which I can click on 'OK' and that brings me to the welcome
screen. I am the only account listed, as the guest account is off. I am the
computer administrator, and no password is set for log-in. The weirder part
is that when I set a screensaver to go off after 1 minute, as soon as I
showed activity with the mouse, the message popped up as soon as the
screensaver turned off. Please help!

I'd suggest two things: (1) Use F8 to enter the Safe Mode Menu prior to
seeing the boot screen, then select Last Known Good Configuration and see if
you can boot; and (2) If you get into the system, immediately create a new
user account and stop using only the Admin account.

I checked the company website, and a download was offered for a "login fix,"
and that solved the problem. Thanks for your help, though! If anyone
experiences the same problem, go to the website listed below...

Good, and thanks for posting back. If you're already running Windows XP SP2
and the Tablet PC Edition 2005, make sure you download and install the eight
driver updates listed on their web site. They're all issued since SP2 came
out.
