Login XP problem
Hi,
The userinit value may have been corrupted by the removal of blazefind. It adds wsaupdater.exe to the logon value in the system registry, sometimes appending it, sometimes replacing it. Running Adaware or other cleaners detects and removes wsaupdater.exe, but doesn't correct the registry damage. If this is the case, then you may need to load the registry hive from another installation and change it. This is the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Userinit string value should be: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, On the damaged installations it's one of these: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsaupdater.exe, C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,C:\WINDOWS\system 32\wsaupdater.exe, Another "quickie" method of resolution is to load the Recovery Console (see below), copy userinit.exe as wsaupdater.exe from the command prompt, then restart normally. Once in, go and change the registry value back to what it's supposed to be and delete the copied file. HOW TO: Install and Use the Recovery Console in Windows XP [Q307654] http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307654 This can also be done by using the 6 disk boot floppy set mentioned in the above article, as it loads enough of the Recovery Console so that you can copy the file. This is particularly useful if you have an OEM installation that includes only a Restore CD, or no disk at all. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Adic" wrote in message ...

I have the same problem and have been fighting it for 2 days. I can't use my Recovery Console because it wants a password that doesn't exist. So I need to "oad the registry hive from another installation and change it" However, I have no idea what this means or how to do it. |
