HELP cannot login

[Guest]

we aren't able to gain access to our other computer. we have windowns xp. when the computer starts up it goes to the welcome screen. it asks for the password and we type it and sign in. the password is correct because it will begin to login however it automatically logs off before windows starts. please help

Hey Sarah,
I've got the same problem, did you ever find a solution?

Oops, sorry Sarah, I just found the answer...
"Try this...if u have XP CD..where i found this in other form

1. Boot using your winxp cd.
2. Enter recovery console.
3. at the command prompt go to
C:/windows/system32
4. next type:
copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe
5. exit and reboot normally. You should now be able to logon. But you're not
done yet!
6. run regedit
7. find the Userinit key in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
8. modify the entry:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsaupdater.exe
so that it reads:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\userinit.exe

That should do the trick! no reinstalling windows required! "

I'll try that method...
Regards,
B.
