My user account somehow became unstable and I can't get into it. I need to know how to fix it since the "My Documents" folder is only accesible from my account. Plus I had it set up the way I liked it.
 
there are hacks you can use to get the (sam?) file with the password (i assume thats what you mean or is your system simply unstable..?)

Also, do you have the "guest" enabled?

is it pro or home?

do you see the "welcome screen" when you log in?

if all else fails, a good reformatting could work... however i can empethise with you in how you wouldn't want to lose your files (like the all the simpsons episodes....)
 
I have the password and the login screen does come up. But when I try to login it says a file may have become unstable and this account cannot be accessed.

I have a guest account and even a backup admin account that I can get into.

It is WinXP Pro
 
Go into Safe Mode. Reset your password for that account. Then try logging back on to that account. See if that does anything for you.

I had that issue before and that solved my problem. Hope it works for you too.
