My PC on which XP pro exists, suddenly gives a login
problem. It accepts the my password, logs in, "Loading
settings", displays wall paper, and then suddenly
shows "saving settings" and then logs off. It disabled
even the administrator password. I tried all previous
passwords (including blank) for Administrator. None of
them worked. I scanned the news groups, and found many
have this problem. One of the suggestions is to regedit
and use userinit.exe rather than wsaupdater.exe. This
procedure works only if the Administrator password works.
But, for me it doesn't work.
My PC is networked with other computer. I looked at the
C:\Windows\System32. There is no file named
wsaupdater.exe in this directory. userinit.exe file
exists. Since my network is working, Is there any way I
can rectify this situation and can login as Admin as well
as me. I really do not want to erase all the disk and
install XP from scratch. Please help with your expert
suggestions.
Thanks,
