Login XP problem

My 2-nd computer has some viruses, after deleting some 3 files in Norton
Antivirus and after restarting my windows XP just don't login. I see my logo
with nick name on the start and by clicking on it windows starts to 1-2
seconds and automaticly logs off(in safe mode too). Help me, is anybody knows
what to do weth it?

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.

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.

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.
