Help! Log on the immediate log off

[Chris231218]

Please help!!

I have been trying to clear my friends severely infected pc from
numerous viruses.
I managed to remove many but whilst following certain instructions I
may have removed a registry key (or the virus removed it for me) but
unfortunately system restore is not enabled.

When I attempt to log on the pc immediately logs me off again.

I have tried in safe mode and last known that worked but as system
restore is off neither proved fruitful.

I have used the installed recovery console to try the following -

I have read web pages about replacing the wsaupdater file with the
userinit file but this did not work.

I have attempted to copy files from the repair section of windows but
these where not found for some reason.

The owner of the pc does not have the xp disc.

So can anybody offer any advice because I am really struggling!

As a side thought... is it possible to recover files from the recycle
bin whilst in recovery console (will I be able to replace the keys by
doing this)?

also, is it possible to turn on system restore through the recovery
console?

Many thanks in anticipation,
Chris

Is it possible to copy a file from an xp disc in to the hard drive in
recovery console?
the replacement of wsaupdater with userinint has not affect so could a
copy of the file on a disc do the job?
If so do you know the instructions?

Thanks
