I already tried other ways. First thought was to simply uninstall SP1 and
see what happened. I did so using System Restore. All went fine in the first
part of the process, but after the reboot I got a message saying that the
system restore process failed and that SP1 was not uninstalled. Clicked ok
and tried to login my account, and voilÃ*, it worked! Did a ver in cmd, and it
said I have "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]" so SP1 is still there.
Still don't know what the hickup was, but glad it's gone. Too bad we didn't
get to the bottom of it though.
