I experienced a BSOD for a winlogon.exe error. I resolved it by using Gateway Restore, which effectively created another partition on my hard drive, and reinstalling XP into it. However, during the restore process, the process said my files and data would be moved into a backup folder. Only the most superficial parts of my data was saved, but my hard drive, which is 160 gigs in size, now has 3.6 gigs for the operating system, 8.6 gigs of stuff from my recovery, and free space of about 12 some odd gig. My old system, and all my data, is in the accounted for partition. How do I access that partition of my hard drive?
I decided to use system restore for the first time since I reinstalled xp Pro about 6 months ago. So I picked a point three days old and let the computer reboot only to be informed that System Restore was unable to restore to that date. I picked another one about a week older and tried again. Same message. I checked the event logs but couldn't find anything except a confirmation of the above. I checked to see if the System Restore slider was maxed and it was. However I did discover that I have two Systgem Restore files on my computer, one on the C drive and one on D which I bascially use for storage. I opened the file on D and found nothing unusual, it contained about 25MB of data.
My XP sp3 computer system was not working well and after trying to fix I decided to just do a system restore. But, it has been turned off and although I am the administrator.
My brother just had a tech guy come to his house to fix a problem he was having with his email.Unrelated to that issue The tech guy recommended not using system restore My brother does not remember the specific reason for this but thought the tech guy said you can't trust system restore as it could lose things and make matters worse
System restore sets restore points but if prompted to any one of them it fails to process the action required. The window that appears states that it may take a few minutes and the computer will restart but nothing happens. I have pro XP including SP 2. MS support says format and reinstall but I will loose a lot of business. If I backup all with Acronis I may reinstall the same problem in the process again. Any magician out there who can help ? By the way I tried to repair through upgrading XP without new installing but nothing changes. I also deleted the previous RS points and created new ones, no change either.
First of all, System Restore never works. Ever. Not a single time in the 2+ years I have had this machine. I have it set to automatically make restore points, but when I try to restore to them it just tells me that it was incomplete and no changes have been made to my system. Then, recently (in the past few days), I've been getting BSOD's with errors of either win32k.sys (0x08E) or NDIS.sys (0x0DI, DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL). Microsoft Crash Analysis has twice told me it was a RAM issue, and twice told me it's a driver issue.
I am trying to do a system restore and my system runs it all but when all is done I get a message saying that no changes have been made to my system and that the system restore was unsuccessful. The reason I am trying to restore my system is because Photoshop is suddenly unable to save as a jpeg? It doesn't recognise the jpeg format when saving and saves as a Photoshop document. THen it wont recognise the file to open it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program to no avail. Funnily enough photoshop elements has no problem with it.
I got some problem during windows startup time . some message come like Winlogon.exe encounter a problem and need to close.i thought some virus attack. Pls help to solve the problem
when i was scannin my computer i accidently deleteed winlogon. for my windows xp and now everytime i start the computer it says winlogo cannot be found where can i download it sincei dont have windows xp home cd rom and my morephues wont start now.
When I boot up my pc. I get a "WinLogon.exe" ERROR. I did a search on it and I read that one should only be concerened. if that file is located anywhere else other than in your C:WINDOWSsystem32. So i did a Search on the pc, and it was the only location it found. One other weird thing.I was running a 'Ad-aware SE Personal' scan, and immediately it detects" Modules Identified "and then that "WinLogon.exe" ERROR appears...and then (I guess its called my 'theme') changes to something totally different, then the pc
Im getting this message when trying to restart windows XP. i get it even when i try to enter into safe mode. If I click on either option it restarts the machine. I cant even get access to the safe mode of windows
"Application error: Winlogon.exe. Click ok to close or cancel to debug."
I'm experiencing some problems with a PC running Windows XP. Recently went through several steps to remove spyware & viruses from the PC. Following error on startup:
Windows cannot find c:windowsinetmwinlogon.exe
The other problem I'm seeing is that I have no desktop icons, and when I try to create a file or shortcut on the desktop, nothing happens. I can right-click/new, but it doesn't appear.
I get a winlogon.exe error when i boot my computer, it appears at the login window. and if i hit 'ok' or 'cancel' the computer gets rebooted. I've checked other posts as well as the post at 'simple pc help', but couldn't do anything. I also tryed to use the win2k intall cd to repair the installation but it didn't work.
I'm getting a message on my windows XP saying 'winlogon.exe could locate component. This application has failed to start because stc_os.dll was not found. Re-installing might fix the problem.' The strange thing is that it does start up and everything's working except for the printer. I found something called 'errornuker' on the net today.
When I startup my computer, it gets to the XP login screen and then winlogon.exe errors. I don't know the exact error code, I didn't copy it down, but svchost.exe also errors twice, and the first code is 0x0000d0005 I believe.
This happened straight after I installed XP Service Pack 2 directly from microsoft's website.
I have a feeling something to do with my wireless card installation caused it. The thing is, Netgear install a custom msgina.dll (for reasons unknown to me) and I actually replaced my msgina.dll with a different one a few months ago as I didn't like having to click on task manager when i pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL, which is what happened with the netgear msgina.
Anyhow, what I've currently tried is using my XP installation CD and going to the recovery console and then doing this:
So replacing my msgina.dll with a backed up version. This doesn't solve the problem, however if I do the same for winlogon.exe and use both the backed up msgina and the backed up winlogon, I don't get a winlogon.exe error anymore. But, I still get the two svchost.exe errors and when I click to login, it says "loading your personal settings" and then goes back to the default loading screen, so I click to login, it says "loading your personal settings" and then goes back again etc.
I have a feeling there might just be a file or two extra that I need to restore from backup copies, but I have no idea which they'd be. I'm an intermediate-expert PC user but I don't really dabble with system files so I'm all out of ideas for what could be wrong, which is why I'm posting here.
My computer has been catching a lot of viruses, mosty trojans, and I just got McAfee re-subribed but everytime I start my computer it gets to just before the logon screen and an error occurs. It says "The Instruction at "0x100096b0" referenced memory at 0x01568000". The memory could not be read." It gives me two choices either to press ok or cancel. Either way the computer screen turns black and a minute later it appears at another black screen telling me that something failed and to shut down the computer. I have tried opening up in safe mode and running McAfee, AVG, Spyware Doctor, and Registry Mechanic.
I get the following error evry time my Windows XP Media Center PC boots
winlogon.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x0101050c" referenced memory at "0x117e4000". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program Click CANCEL to debug the program When I click either the system reboots and I'm stuck here. I cannot get it to boot in safe mode but I can boot to a DOS prompt in the Microsoft Windows Recovery console.
FONT=Tahoma SIZE=3 COLOR=Red I have lately been having this problem that when i boot up and log onto the internet i get a weird error. it says Quote: "winlogon.exe - Aplication error.The instruction at "0x10017ef4" refrenced memory at "0x013cc000". The memory could not be "read"
click on ok to terminate the program click cnacel to debug"
So like if i click on either of those Windows totaly crashes and goes into the blue screen. So if i dont click it after 2 minuts another message pops up
i was in safemode to delete wgalogon from "regedit". i was in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsoftwaremicrosoftwindows NTcurrent version i accidentally deleted everything in the WinLogon folder except default. now it wont let me logon. anybody know what to do?
my sygate firewall keeps informing me that windowsnt logon application(winlogon.exe) is trying to connect to www ad-w-a-r-e.com i have run spybot adaware and hijack this adaware is unable to clean up a file called f2j2ocloef.dll as it is in use i dont know if there's a connection I'm running windowsxp home edition
Alright this is really damn annyoying, the pc runs incredibly slow, when I look in task manager, explorer.exe is using 97% of the CPU, so I end the proccess and start a new one, then winlogon.exe runs at 97% CPU usage and this proccess can't be ended, and I noticed there are multiple "svchost.exe" about 5 actually, I even reinstalled the operating system about 3 times and the computer still has the problem. I looked all over the internet and I can't find anything that can solve this. I have the log from HijackThis:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 05:33:42, on 25/04/2007 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16414)
i cannot go past starting windows screen after that it gives me a message: winlogon.exe application error instruction a "0x00dafcf0" reference memory at "0x00dafcf0" memory could not be written.then it turns to blue screen:Stop:c000021a (fatal error)windows logon process system process terminate unexpectedley with status of 0xc0000005 system has been shut down at the time this happened i was downloading panda anti-virus and did not delete my anti-virus program and had also downloaded a2hijack program that was running at the time
When I sign on windows with the right password, it works just fine and everything loads up. However, when I happen to type out my massive password wrong the following error comes up:MCI Command Handling Window: winlogon.exe.The instruction at 0x0179116e reference memory at 0x0070ffff. The memory could not be read.I'm running XPPro. I recently reformatted my entire PC and I've never had this happen before reinstalling XP. I don't know what specifically the error stems from cause I installed so much stuff in one day. It was all the same stuff I've had on the PC before. Other accounts across the net, however, did NOT also reformat, so I'm thinking it must be something to do with a virus or some error in SP2 or windows update. I've done a virus scan and found nothing.
I've worked for 2 days on this problem off and on and found no working solution yet. To make it short and sweet, if I right-click on any folders or on the hard drive icons in My Computer explorer.exe freezes. I have a program called HDDLife Pro (trial version) that says my hard disks are at 53% and 85%. The program measures the current tempurature and how much life is left on your hard disks. There are no tale-tell signs of a failing disk either.
I was wondering if anyone knew where the default light blue color background (approx rgb 80 110 200) that appears just before the welcome screen (not classic logon) when you boot XP or switch users is set. I'd like to change it so that it matches my customized desktop/welcome screen.
I've changed the following registry keys but no luck: HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTControl PanelColorsBackground HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinlogonBac kground HKEY_USERS.DefaultControl PanelDesktopWallpaper
It might be the same color as the one that appears when you run chkdsk and stuff like that at boot time, so I was thinking the color is set in ntoskrnl.exe?
Am I able to restore the Windows XP operating system on my laptop from the CD without trashing my other data/programs? I have used "System Restore" quite often and now notice several small glitches occurring from time to time so am wondering if small portions of the system have become corrupt (sorry for the nontechnical terminology). It would be nice to be able to restore the system directly from my CD but I haven't been able to discover if this is possible.
