Login loop

[iemand14]

Hi,

I have a litle problem.

I have a machine running WinXP/ SP1.

Everything fine for at least a year or two.

This morning when I started my PC and wanted to logon everythings happens fine, but normal when the desktop icons and taskbare will be loaded there is a quick message I'm loging off. The next thing I see is again my login screen.

Strange problem, please help me.

Greats Christophe

I suggest either somehow the activation has gotten triggered.

Meaning you need to activate for some reason.

Pirated XP or lost activation information.

This can happend if you have one of the corporate versions of XP from the net.

They ususally disable the activation routin and then if the crack get destroyed becouse of an update or something this can happend.

Or the oher suggestion is some virus/worm/trojan

In that case, try logging on in "F8" failsafe mode and run apyware blaster + spybot search and destroy on it in failsafe mode..

also when I log on in safe mode there is the same problem.

Is there a way to fix this problem??

I tryed diferent ways to logon, nothing worked.

An error message would be helpful. Most likely it is your activation. You will prob have to reinstall xp.

I reinstalled my OS when I got that problem. Number of reasons via a Google Search will come up. Go figure.

I fixed the problem.

Search via google gives me the next solution.

I don't know of someone is intrested, here it is

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
