In most cases this problem is caused by Windows being unable to locate the
file "userinit.exe", either because the file is missing or because Windows
expects to find it in the wrong place. The underlying cause can be malware,
virus, malware/virus removal or some partition manipulation. The fix is easy
if the machine is connected to another PC by a network cable and much less
easy if it is a stand-alone machine. If you're not comfortable working in
the Recovery Console and/or editing the registry then your best bet might be
to ask your friendly PC service man to assist.
