Today when I went to turn on my Samsung laptop (with Windows 7), I got a ""Logon Process Initialization Failure" error message. I didn't even get to the screen which asks for my password to access the computer's functions. I tried to reboot into safe mode, but I got the same thing again. I can't open any program or even get to my desktop screen.
I found a Microsoft hotfix that appears to be for this problem, and although I saved the .exe file to my thumb drive from my desktop computer, I'm at a loss as to how to install it on my laptop when it won't operate correctly to download and run it!
(The Microsoft link that seems to address my issue is here: [URL]
The only thing that may have changed is that my old power cord to the laptop was frayed, and I ordered a new one off eBay. It's not a Samsung cord, but a replacement cord. My laptop worked fine with it for an entire day, then the following day is when this happened. I don't know if it's related to the problem or not.
When I try to boot my HP Compaq laptop I get this message in a dialog box. This computer has been overheating and either powers down itself or we power it down.
Anyone got a clue how to fix it??already searched for it using google..but couldnt get a step by step solution.. i got the system repair disc created from another computer..
I have a Toshiba Laptop which generate this message 'Logon Process Initialization Failure' Interactive logon process initialization has failed please consult the event log for more details' after I ran a AVAST Boot Virus scan. However I could not reached the logon sreen to continue on to get to my destop. I am stuck.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium.. Last week it refused to boot up. The message that I got is in a large rectangle. It says" Logon Process initialization Failure. Interactive Logon Process initialization has failed. Please consult the3 event log for more details. How can I see the event log if the computer will not boot up. I ran the repair function and the return to the last known good boot
I have a Dell Inspiron n5010 for about two years. I downloaded a large-file game recently, but when I realized that it made my computer freeze, I uninstalled. After that, my laptop suddenly shut down and rebooted, but it automatically went to Startup Repair. I tried to do System Restore, Dell Datasafe Restore, Safe Mode, Last Known Good Configuration, and all options on F8 screen options. After the Dell Datasafe restore, I got the notification: "Logon Process Initialization Failure: Interactive Logon Process Initialization Has Failed."I tried to do Safe Mode, but it did not work. I do not have a copy of Windows 7 or an external hard drive. Windows will not start.
"interactive logon process initialization has failed. Please consult the event log for more details" I have been google-ing for hours, with lots of mixed answers. It seems like a very popular problem but no direct step-by-step answer to fixing it? I am not a guru, but have medium level knowledge if someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction!
I can access F8 and startup repair (no effect/no issues found)
When I start Windows 7 about 30 seconds after the login, I see an error message popping up that says: "Failed to initial environment". In the task bar I see the an icon that writes MFC, which is the program that gives the error message. I looked in my task manager under processes if I see MFC, but there is nothing like this. I am using Windows 7 64 bit.Does anyone have an idea what that would be?Here are 3 screen shots, which show the error and all processes running in my task manager.

Last night, i noticed i had low memory on my C drive. so I uninstalled a few programs - games mostly and needless addons - and then restarted. After restarting, the laptop got stuck at the bootup screen, at about 70%, then persisted to say "operating system not found" repeatedly.
This morning, after turning it on, it now gets past this screen, but says theres a "SMART failure predicted" on on my Hard drive. It also says ahard drive fail;ure is imminent. It does this for a few minutes, and then gets 'stuck' again at 70% at startup.
So.. is this a problem with my HDD? Everything points to this, but I'm not sure of my next step? Do i need to reinstall windows (problem, seeing as i don't have an installation disc)
The above failure has occured ("logon process initialization failure" ). what happend before:
- CPU over heated error upon startup -- cleaned computer --cleaned & applied new thermal paste (old stuff was dry) --- outcome: CPU over heat error upon startup --Did a BIOS repair and update --Did a Windows update
OK, when I am overclocking my ram I am able to reach DDR3 2296 however when I go pass DDR3 2300+ I get the following error code 79 which is CSM initialization.
Question 1
Does anyone know what CSM initialization is?
Question 2
What bios setting do I need to do to push past this to keep overclocking?
I am using Windows 7 build 7100 X64. I have a Microsoft VX3000 Webcam. I think when I first installed it, it was working. I have been beating my brains out searching on the web for solutions and seen some threads here, nothing has fixed the initilization error (that's why I get when I try and run the Lifecam software). I can't even get into configuration.
I listed my hardware profile upon signing up so you can see it, it's kind of oldish system, socket 939.
I know the webcam works, with the latest drivers, in Windows XP SP3 on another system.
I have changed USB ports. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried manually loading the .inf file.
It shows, in Device Manager, that the driver is working ok, both for the cam and the sound of the mic. I have tried, as I said, loading the .inf files for both of those.
I am using Norton's Beta Internet Security. I have a Razer Lachesis Mouse with the latest drivers for it.
I really need this to work because my loved ones live in another country right now and I miss them seeing me and me seeing them. How do I report this to MS? Does anyone have some ideas on what I can do to fix this?
I have a hp 4 month old laptop. I used it yesterday, turned it off, when I turned it back on 4 hours later, it gave me a message that it needed to do a chkdisk, so it ran that, then started in what looks like safemode. It gave me an error message that says "Windows Socket Initialization Failed". I did a little research and tried to do a system restore, there are no restore points found. It will not connect to the internet, it also give me a message that it cannot connect to the windows service.
Windows 7 boots as normal to "Starting Windows" with MS icon but then goes blank. F8 and "Starting Windows normally" does not work. F8 into Boot Menu with a Windows 7 recovery disk in the drive reads it briefly but does not recognise it. If I can get beyond this stage I have a system image on a connected hard drive.
My computer is a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 7. I just got it like a month ago. Recently it has decided to be a real bugger. Everytime I try to start it up, it either gets stuck on the "welcome" screen or advances past it and goes to a pitch black screen with just a cursor. I've also found that if I try to shut the computer down without just pressing the power button, it can't turn off.
I recently bought Windows 7. Sometimes when I start my computer, the USB will not work at the login screen. No keyboard or mouse works. If I get past the login, windows finds all my external hd's and starts to scan them. I think this is a problem with the USB.
We have about 60 of the same model computer and so we have an image we deploy if one goes down so we don't have to start from scratch. A machine went down and we replaced the motherboard but it will not boot from the image we have. It starts to boot, displays the swirly colors and then the Windows 7 logo and then it restarts.
We tried installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 and that works. Using the image that works in all of our other machines of the same model it tries to get us to do startup repair but it fails every time.
Dell laptop bought 8 months ago. My son said it started running real slow now windows won't load at all. Goes to start up repair I tried all the options and it didn't work:

I am convinced that my computer has been dishonored and is trying to commit Hari-Kari.This year-old Toshiba P755 came with Win 7 installed. This August after an automatic Windows Update it failed to startup properly. After logging in Explorer would freeze.I was able to start up in Safe Mode. Windows Update log showed that a half dozen updates had just been installed, and several had failed.I used Recovery and selected a restore point just before the update. All went OK and the computer now worked until the next time I shut down, whereupon it headed off to re-install the updates. This time I noticed it hung in the Installing Updates, do not turn off your computer" screen for many, many hours, eventually failing to install them.
I repeated this cycle three times over teh next few days, growing more desperate each time. Finally I found a kb on the MSDN site that sounded applicable. It had me download and install a "Mr. Fixit" utility. I did so, got one more lockup, then upon entering Safe Mode saw a new option: Repair Startup or some such. I tried it and lo, it worked. No more endless "Installing Updates" messages.I then changed the Windows Update mode to manual. It still sent me messages about updates being available, so I then turned off the Windows Update service.
All was quiet for three weeks. Then last Friday the same drill - hung after logging in. Only this time it has invented a more ominous way to die. I did the Safe Mode->Control Panel->Recovery drill (I can do it in my sleep now) and, uh-oh, it says I have no restore points! I used to have dozens....Looking at the update log, I only see three update that (I think) are when I installed Mr. Fixit. I went ahead and uninstalled them anyway. The computer wanted a reboot, and once again locked on the "configuring Updates" screen.Now I can only start up in Safe Mode with Networking, which is how I am able to write this.
For sometime now I've been attempting to fix a laptop that I have that was used by my sister. The laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ61 running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I believe the computer has a virus but cannot actually find out for sure if it does or not. I have ran many virus scans with multiple virus protections and still I'm getting blue screens of death, major jamming, as well as occasional start up fails. The computer jams up so badly that I can't use it for even simple tasks. If I try to up the start menu or any folders the computer jams up for about a minute before it responds. If I try to get on the web nothing at all will load no matter what web browser I'm using. The computer will also freeze up completely at random times and the only way to get it to respond is to restart it.
I have an issue which I need resolved. My hard drive had about 5 different partitions, one for Win7 x86, Win7 x64, Misc, Encrypted Data and Virtual Machines. The Encrypted Data partition was secured with BitLocker - The OS-partitions was _not_ secured with BitLocker. Now what happened was that I had to run the startup repair utility on my Win7 x64 installation and this completely messed up things for me. I have lost the Encrypted Data and Virtual Machine-partition.
I do not care about the VMs, but the Data contains vital information which I have not backed up yet. On top of losing the two partitions, a new partition called HP_tools re-appeared. This partition was removed when I scratched the OEM-installation approx. a year ago. I urgently need to recover this Data-partition. I do have unallocated space (between other partitions) on my hard drive, but none at the exact size of my encrypted partition.

I am trying to completely wipe this laptop off and start fresh. The recovery partition has been removed as part of my search for a resolution for the problem. When I try to install windows 7 on this machine I start by selecting to format the entire hard drive. It completes this and then starts the installation of windows 7. It take a very long time for windows to unpack the files and copy them to disc. After about an hour and a half it starts asking me for the User name/location/time settings, etc.
After that it reboots to startup windows for the first time. It immediately tells me that windows cannot start and startup repair will need to be run or I can select to ignore this and try to start normally. Either option yields no improvement. After working with each of those options I just decided to reformat the drive and start the install again. Even after the drive was wiped and fully formatted I get the same error once the windows installation finishes.
i used to get the BSOD very often so i decided to recover the system to the initial state . i did that and everything was fine , then i updated the windows 7 service pack 1 and finished the installation and rebooted my computer , the start-up at least took half an hour at that time and the service pack 1 installation showed "not successful " i tried to again to update the service pack1 which showed 73.6mb - 892.6mb so i updated it again and again the same thing happened.
VPN configures ok but fails with error 619. Usually a authentication issue so disabled windows firewall and avast with same results. Other than the ip address, user id and password are there any other VPN configuration issues I may have missed? I followed an XP script but the Windows 7 config was very close.
Have a 3 yr old HP Desktop. Seems to be working O.K. It's on about 20 hours/day. Have been receiving messages that Windows has detected a HD problem, I ran the HP Support Assistant and it comes back with the, Smart Threshold Test Failed. Error Code HD521-5W Will certainly do a lot of backups now, but can anyone tell me anything about what might be happening ? Again, PC seems to be working fine.
Since June my computer has had no luck in successfully downloading the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. I have an HP Mini 110 Netbook. Not quite sure how to approach a solution for this. I constantly get error code 80041010. Any suggestions?
