It doesnt matter which way I choose, if I begin typing my ID it restarts. If I click continue, it restarts. If I just leave it, nothing happens, it will just stay on that screen.
Whats happening??? I got the mini off eBay. Im thinking it might be broke?

Was the mini you purchased from eBay previously owned or is it new? If you have the Leopard DVD set that came with the mini, it's best to reinstall the OS if it was previously used.
If you run into the same difficulty after reinstalling Leopard there's a possibility that something may be wrong with the machine.
I always warn people away from purchasing computers off eBay or Craig's list unless you can actually meet with the seller and test the unit prior to the sale. If possible, contact the seller and advise him\her of your experience.
Regards.
