Login issues XP Pro

I need some help. I am running Windows XP Pro. My Administrator account started to act buggy so I deleted the user account (probably not the best idea). I created a new administrator account and it seemed to solve my problems. It did however create a new one. When I restarted my computer I got a login error. Error note said I should check my user name or password. Now if I press ENTER quick enough I can by-pass the error and continue to the screen where the user icons appear. If not, my computer crashs on the Windows loading screen. In computer management > user account > I still see my old administrator account but I can't reactivate it. What can I do?

If you have system restore active you can restore to a point just before you deleted the account.

Unhappy

I have recently reinstalled xp so I don't have a restore point that was before the time I deleted the user account.

Not sure if this will work but you may have better luck working in SAFE Mode.
