Logon Error

[Tony]

In trying to logon I have been getting the following error:


The System cannot log you on due to the following error:

The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect

From the microdsoft site I oculd find out that this has an error code of 24
but I could not see what to do about it.


This happens with all of the people that log in. I was able to go back to
an earlier recovery point but the problem has happened again. Any ideas as
to why this error would all of sudden begin appearing?

Thanks,

Tony

have you considered the possibility that your system is infected with some
kind of spyware, malware or otherwise misbehaving junkcode that
re-introduces this error, because you are (unknowingly) triggering it again
by using something on your system?
Get some scanning software like Search & Destroy, Spyware Blaster, Ad Aware,
Virus scanner and use all of them to check (and cross-check) your system for
the culprit.

This error is caused by a bad windows update patch. It happen
automatically when you have Automatic Update turned on. I'm no exper
but I finally figured out what's up. I have an automatic update waitin
to install but I won't let it. The problem here is caused by updat
KB885835. When it installs automatically, it messes up my login.
don't know what's causing it, but it's not spyware or a virus. The las
known good configuration worked, fortunately.

Yeah, it worked for me, too. Didn't install the update and still don'
understand what's going on or why this happened, though.

little knowledge in XP. How do I revert back to last known good
configuration?

Kazi - Restart the computer and as it is starting, repeatedly tap the F8
key (just like when you want to get to Safe Mode). This will bring you
to the menu you need to choose Last Known Good Configuration.
