How can he do that since he's not able to login and change the way users logon/off

Interesting question, we have the same problem in our company. I can't wait to see if anyone will have the solution..

You can create folder on one partition and mount that folder to use this other two partitions by using disk manager..

One of our friends from this forum has fixed the problem with similiar simptoms in the next way: 1 Get into the recovery console. XP cd 2 Get the file userinit.exe from another computer. (location windows/system32 folder) 3.- Overwrite the userinit.exe original file (from the infected computer) with the new one (use a cd or disk to transport it) (Command e:/userinit.exe c:/windows/system32/userinit.exe) 4.- Rename the userinit.exe to wsaupdater.exe And that should fix your problem . The reason of the problem is that Norton Anti-Virus placed that one importent file in Quarentine Maybe this'll help...

The best thing to do would be removal of all entries from the startup folder by connecting disk to another computer or and/or connecting to remote registry on that computer and delete all suspicious entries from: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

During uninstall you've probably delete some win files that were used during NT backup

Here is the topic link.. I think that two of you are having the same problem... He's using SP1 so I don't think that's the SP2 issue.

Try to download the latest drivers for it..

Ok, I'll try to find that post for ya..

Somebody aleready wrote down a post with the same problem.. It could be a virus..

Does this happen with only hers account or with any other account on that computer ???

You'll get drop down list to connect to local computer or domain, but you can't use two domains, correct me if I'm wrong

I also recommend a clean installation of Windows XP SP2 in this case

It'll work with 128 MB of RAM but very slow, you should at least have 256 MB of RAM for normal work.. Of course, that also depends which apps you need to use simultaneously......

You can check how many USB ports you have by looking on the back of your computer or you can see this entering BIOS setup..

Thnx mate...

You can use winme startup disk and select to "start the computer with the CD-ROM support. Then just from A: disk use format C: command.. I hope you made your backup on winnt. before this action.. After format is complete select the drive which is your CD letter drive, e: for instance and write cd lang/eng/cabs and run setup.exe

Now that is a cheerfull information 'cause I've got the same motherboard

You should create a new folder on the drive u want and extract all the files in that folder from command prompt window... Or you could copy the .exe file to the root of C: drive and extract it there.. All files will be extracted in the temp folder of C: drive...

gpedit.msc is a command which u can use through run window so that you can access Group policy..in fact this is just a local computer policy

Thank you for this link, interesting site

Hey, where's my country ?

Try to set jumper on the 120 GB disk to auto-select

I think that the problem will reoccur 'cause of the IRQ settings conflict

My boot.ini looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn I really don't have the slightest idea how did you manage to change the boot ini file so it looks like that....
