Windows stops at Welcome screen...

[Fakowsky]

....and when pressed at the user name, it appears to load settings and
than is logging off.

The same thing is happening in "Safe" mode.

(XP Home edition)

However, when I use ERD startup disk, I'm able to use System Restore to
earlier date and for a while everything works OK.

It's a second machine which does that.


Any idea how to fix it?


TIA

If the above is not the case:

This problem turns out to be that the Winlogon userinit entry is being set
to
"wsupdater.exe," and not "userinit.exe,".

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.

In the right pane under Userinit, Change the key to read:
C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,

Or download and run the reg file on line 263 (right hand side)

Or:

Place your XP CD in and navigate to the Recovery Console.
Change the C:\Windows prompt to: C:\Windows\System32 and copy userinit.exe
to wsaupdater.exe

Most welcome, but which step?

Using ERD and Regedit, I've changed from

C:\Windows\System32\Wsupdater.exe,


to


C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,



Thanx again.

Most welcome, but which step?

On top of it, installed SP2 so I doubt is will occur again!


Cheers...

Hello Fakowsky,

Could you please explain in steps how did you do to solve the issue?
I mean, how did you create an ERD for the PC that stops on logon screen? etc.

Thanx




Using ERD and Regedit, I've changed from

C:\Windows\System32\Wsupdater.exe,


to


C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,



Thanx again.[/QUOTE]
