Ok, so this is the situation
Yesterday my antivirus found a few infected files, and deleted them,
Today when i try to log on to my user account on windows XP it just reboots my pc
However: I can access my account, if i log onto a guest account then use the switch user thing and then log into my account!
My account is an administrator account, and is the only one affected.
I tried creating another user account and transferring all my files over, so after i did that, i deleted my original account, however this one still has the same issue, so... it must be a problem with ADMINISTRATOR accounts, as the limited accounts are unaffected.
I do not really want to re-install windows, because i dont have any blank cd's to copy my work onto before i format !
HELP

If you have your Windows XP installation CD, you can perform a Repair Installation. What this does is reinstall Windows system files, overwriting the old corrupted ones, while leaving all your data intact. One problem is that you'll need to reinstall all of your other programs as well.

Use the windows installation Disk
Select restore installation (press R at the install menu)
log in to XP on the next command prompt screen
log in with admin password
Once logged in type fixmbr at the command prompt
Press enter (type yes or y at any questions)
Then type fixboot
Press enter as before
Next type exit
The machine should reboot normally
Another thing to try is boot in safe mode with command prompt and run scanreg.exe to check and repair the registry.

If you have not disabled system restore,
boot into safe mode (when windows starts up press F8)
when logged in as safe mode use system restore and restore to a point before you deleted those files
