Hi,
I am having problems with XP when it gets to the 'loading personal settings' bit it skips to 'saving personal settings' as if it's trying to shut down and then it flicks straight back to 'load personal settings' and so on and so on. It does this every time, even in safe mode :/
Please can you help me as I need to sort this out because my dissertation is due in soon and I need my computer!!!
"Blazefind changes the following registry-key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
"Userinit" = "C:\WINNT\system32\userinit.exe,"
in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
"Userinit" = "C:\WINNT\system32\wsaupdater.exe,"
Used Lavasoft Adaware to get rid of the pest ----> removed blazefind
and
with it the wsaupdater.exe
==> next time i tried to logon my computer the system tries to run
wsaupdater.exe which it couldn't find ! FAILED LOGON -> LOGOFF
I first tried to find ways to change the registry from within the
recovery console but i did not succeed (ERD commander will probably
work, but since i wasn't sure that this was the problem i thought it a
little bit too expensive)...
Then i thought of this:
just copy userinit.exe as wsaupdater.exe !! It's as simple as that....
YES!! it works again... and blazefind is gone (it seems....
)"
Using the recovery console employ the command
copy C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe
C:\Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe
(this is one line separated by a space, supposing the partition where
windows is installed is C, and supposing blazefind caused this)
Good luck
