Please help me. I cannot logon...

[shimon]

Hi,

I have a win xp sp2 home edition machine.
It has a weird problem: whenever I logon, I get a blank error messag
(with yes/no options). irrelevant of what I choose, the system looks a
if it's logging in, but logs me out again.

I looked into this and found a solve that says it's a problem caused b
a spyware removal tool, and that I should copy userinit.exe t
wsaupdater.exe . it doesn't work. also, the registery key mentioned i
that article seems to point to userinit.exe, as it should.
(here is a link to the article
http://www.winxptutor.com/wsaremove.htm)

Also, I found out that I can login into use safe mode, but if I tr
'safe mode with networking' - the same problem occurs.

What should I do? (I don't even have an installation disk righ
now...)
please help. I need a way, at least, to copy some files from th
machine. but my disk on key won't work in safe mode...

The problem may be an incorrect system drive letter rather than
userinit.exe. Open the registry on the system that is causing you
trouble via a networkedmachine, navigate to:

HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices

and delete all values that look like this:

\DosDevices\C
