xp pro wont allow log in

[kdm004]

Hi kdm004,

Run a spyware cleaner lately? The userinit value may have been
corrupted by
the removal of blazefind. It adds wsaupdater.exe to the logon value in
the
system registry, sometimes appending it, sometimes replacing it.
Running
Adaware or other cleaners detects and removes wsaupdater.exe, but
doesn't
correct the registry damage. If this is the case, then you may need to
load
the registry hive from another installation and change it. This is the
key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Userinit string value should be:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

On the damaged installations it's one of these:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsaupdater.exe,
C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsaupdater.exe,

Another "quickie" method of resolution is to load the Recovery Console
(see
below), copy userinit.exe as wsaupdater.exe from the command prompt,
then
restart normally. Once in, go and change the registry value back to
what
it's supposed to be and delete the copied file. To do this, use these
commands:

C:\Windows
C:\Windowscopy C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe
C:\Windows\system32\wsaupdater.exe

Then you can exit once completed.

This can also be done by using the 6 disk boot floppy set mentioned in
the
above article, as it loads enough of the Recovery Console so that you
can
copy the file. This is particularly useful if you have an OEM
installation
that includes only a Restore CD, or no disk at all.
