With no hardware software changes my PC started acting awful. I tried to
shut it down and reboot and the end task dialog popped up and the program it
was trying to end was winlogon.

I had no choice but to end the task, so when I booted back up and tried to
select my user the pc immediately rebooted. This happened everytime for 5-6
times. Then I selected another user and it logged in fine and shut down
fine. So I tried my user again and sure enough it still rebooted. So I
booted into safemode and was able to try system restore to an earlier point.
It worked and I was able to login as me. But now I'm back to square one...I
can't log off or shut down without the end task for winlogon popping up...I
don't want to end the task again.

(Two other problems that have cropped up...my mouse is gone from the control
panel!?!?!? Also system restore does not work anymore...I tried to restore
to a point a week, two weeks, a month ago and they all failed...)

I can't find a single reference to winlogon not responding online....please
help...
 
run from a boot to CD and Recovery Console (press 'r' for Repair), the
command:

(cd drive letter here):/i386/expand.exe (cd drive letter
here):/i386/winlogon.ex_ %windir%/system32/winlogon.exe

(all one line)
