Userinit.exe-Ordinal Not found

Has any one ran across this before? The system boots to
the log on prompt, you can enter you username & password,
hit enter then this message pops up:

Userinit.exe-Ordinal Not Found

The ordinal 175 could not be located in the dynamic link
library USERNV.dll

you hit ok and it hangs right there. Tried booting to last
known good with same results. I'm trying to not have to
pull the HDD and re-install OS if possible.

Thanks fellow MCPs, and everone else too.

apply / reapply service pack 4

instructions here ...

Quote....

(1) Boot into safe mode (without network support)
(2) Logon. If the UserInt.exe error message is received after
logging in, hit CTRL+ALT+DEL, click Task Manager, click File,
click New Task, and type Explorer.exe to load the shell or CMD to
bring up a command prompt (see above posts for more details).
(3) Put the service pack CD in or cd to the directory where the
service pack is located in the file system.
(4) Re run the service pack (always archive)
(5) After the service pack is done backing up files and
installing the new files, it will try to update the IIS
metadatabase and FAIL. You will receive a message box with an OK
button. AT THIS POINT, PULL THE PLUG ON THE SERVER OR HOLD THE
POWER BUTTON IN UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. DO NOT GIVE THE SERVICE PACK
INSTALLER THE OPPORTUNITY TO ROLL BACK THE INSTALLATION.
(6) Turn the machine back on and boot normally. You will be able
to log in properly at this point. If you right click my computer
and click properties, you will note that the General Tab says you
are running Service Pack 4. You aren't. Reinstall in the
service pack (on the console this time!) and reboot. All is
well.
