I am dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu Feisty via GRUB.
My version code(displayed under safe mode desktop screen)
I have the following troubles:
1. Yesterday, I shut down my computer in my main Gautham user, which is an administrator type account. It has been severely screwed before, and was the first account the assembler of my PC created back in 2005, and it was then called "aa". In my pre-geek days, all of us in the house used the same account, and it was overloaded with junk. Once I saw light, I renamed it to Gautham, assigned a password to it, and created another account called aa. But windows is too stupid to understand this, and in its folders, even after renaming, the account is still aa, for example, its C://documents and settings/aa instead of ~/gautham, and the other user is now aa_02. but I have no complaints against this stupidity of windows. My problem is quite different...
2. After shutting it down, my sis logged in through the aa account thats displayed in the login screen. But it hanged for ever after the Loading Your Personal Settings... message was displayed. The same happened again, but later, it was able to start, but it looked like the taskbar soon became unresponsive and I had to restart again. After more tries, it worked, and I shut down normally to see if it works now. Then I logged into my user, and it never worked. It still hanged in the Loading your personal settings... message. I have tried several things now. But then, the aa account worked. But the Gautham account was still not working. I tried booting in safe mode, restoring the system to a prev state, etc etc. Then I created a new account, named Gautham T, which was again admin. It came Loading your personal settings..., then Applying personal settings..., then it hanged again. But logging in in safe mode helped me log in into that user.
3. Now two users are screwed, both admins. I am concidering reinstalling windows, as my windows directories and ntfs partitions are still accessable through linux, and I can recover their files. But the dammed user account has tooooooo many personalisations and there are too many customisations I can't possibly ever do again. So I need this to be fixed.
4. This is a lesser problem: the taskbar is too unresponsive sometimes, when I try to click on a window to minimise it. I need to sometimes click 3-4 times.
