Hi - Just solved my automatic LOGOFF problem that occurred everytime I
LOGGED ON - even in SAFE Mode. The problem turned out to be that the
Winlogon userinit entry was set to "wsupdater.exe," and not
"userinit.exe,". I fixed the problem by 1) booting to a Repair Console
(IBM provides this on their laptops), 2) changing directory to
C:\WINDOWS\System32, and 3) copying userinit.exe to wsaupdater.exe
(there was no wsaupdater.exe present). I then 4) rebooted into Safe mode
and successfully logged-on as Adminstrator (for the first time in
several days!) Next step was to 5) edit the registry and change
userinit in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon from "wsaupdater.exe," to "userinit.exe,"; 6)
final reboot and back to normal! --Rick Lewis--
