I am fed up with the logon/logoff loop. Is there any way to get past it, just once, because i have a regtool that fixes the registry chop-chop! All I need is to get into Windows once or twice. I have tried The boot to recovery console, then "copy userinit.exe wsupdater.exe" and still it did not work.
View 6 RepliesMy computer starts up normally.It always just autologs on since I'm the only one using my windows xp computer. However, before anything can be displayed it immediatley logs off to the logon screen. I click my username and start the login process (i have no password and before even switching to my wallpaper or anything it says stuff like logging out and saving your settings.
I tried booting in safe mode too and the same infinite logon loop occured to, even with the default administrator account. The last thing I remember doing before this happened is I was playing City of Heroes when it crashed forcing me to restart my computer. This happens occasionally in certain programs but I've never had anything like this happen before. I tried unplugging my keyboard, mouse, usb devices, ethernet cable, no luck.

I've seen another post somewhere and someone else had this problem, but I haven't found a solution. We're using WXP Pro, SP2. After doing a repair install (the other person just had it after using Windows Update), at logon, after entering the correct, AND VALID, password either for a user Or the Administrator, Windows Logon displays the following Logon Message in a box: "!The system cannot log you on due to the following error: "The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect. "Please try again or consult your administrator."
No matter how many times logon is attempted, or with what account, the message continues to be issued. Thus, NO ONE can logon to the GUI. The Recovery Console can be used to logon as Administrator, but no password is requested even though there is one in place. I've searched the MSKB but didn't find any reference. Implementing "Last known good configuration" does not fix the problem.
I ran a spyware program and now the computer logs off as soon as I log on.I cannot remote into it because my network won't find it. I've booted into the recovery console to the command prompt and followed everyone's instructions except that I don't have userinit.exe or wsaupdater.exe??? What gives? Can I just rebuild the boot? MBR? Is thre a way to edit the registry from the dos prompt.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI accidently deleted the userinit.exe file, creating the log on/log off problem. I have gone into the recovery console, navigated to C:/WINDOWS/system32, but when i tried "copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe" it says the system cannot find the file specified. Help ?

It gets past the logging on to windows prompt and then this error message comes up userinit.exe application error (0xc0000005) and Windows then fails to load completely. This also occurs in safe mode and I haven't been able to bypass Windows and boot directly to DOS by using the F8 key on startup.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi found out my computers userinit.exe has been changed and it is causing my computer to ask for a password when i never set one to begin with and it keeps logging on and off....along with other things. This recently happened with a virus and i dont have the XP cd. Is there a way i can rewrite the registry to userinit.exe thru bios? or any other program? I have a program called <reference removed> but have no idea how to use it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBack about three weeks ago, in an effort to speed up my start-up on my computer, I ran Cleaner. It identified all the start up things. I went through one by one and disabled those that I had checked on a registry database. Unfortunately one of the first I disable was USERINIT.EXE.Now, as some of you may know, I can't login to my computer! I can power on, and try to log in, the windows attempts to load my preferences, and then logs out. Over the past several weeks, I have tried in vain to get some helpful suggestions on how to remedy the situation, but obviously my range of knowledge in dealing with this type of problem isn't strong enough to figure it all out. It was suggested by a friend that I just do a ffr, but quite frankly, I see that as a last ditch effort. I have files on the computer, that I really don't want to lose. And it seems that as I know what the problem is....there must be someway to fix it without going to the extreme. As my computer is 3-4 yrs old, my windows CD was only for SP1, and I don't think that would help....although I don't really know.
View 14 Replies View RelatedAfter I log into my computer at my windows login screen, it instantly kicks me back to the login screen. After reading several posts online I have come to believe that my userinit.exe file has been deleted or that virus has somehow altered it. I want to reinstall a copy of the file from a windows xp media boot CD, however I only have a friends recovery disk and it is for his brand of computer so it doesnt recognize it when i boot my system. I dont have a floppy drive, is there any other way to get a dos prompt at start-up so I can manually extract userinit.exe to system32? Should I slave the drive on a different computer and copy and paste it?

I would appreciate any useful information. Making sly remarks is childish.I to have received the message: "USERINIT.exe Application failed to initialize" after removing software that was previously install and may have been causing the computer to not get a TCP/IP number. Now I can not get to the desktop, It hangs.
I agree sometimes reloading a cleaned of hard drive may be the only way to resolve a problem. However, first see if there are any quick fixes that may save some time.
If all you can say is start over again from scratch then you are wasting your time and everyone else's that reads for some answers.
This is a past post that someone else posted but I'm having the same problem and I did not understand the solution. Here is what he put:"Windows won't start up on my badly-infected WinXP PIV. It gets past the logging on to windows prompt and then this error message comes up userinit.exe application error (0xc0000005) and Windows then fails to load completely. This also occurs in safe mode and I haven't been able to bypass Windows and boot directly to DOS by using the F8 key on startup."
This is exactl my issue except I haven't tried to go to Dos mode b/c I didn't know how.This was his reply..."See if this helps:Restore WinlogonUserinit

I need help. My computer will not boot up properly. I keep getting the same error message "userinit.exe" failed to initialise. I tried a systems recovery but this also failed. (I received the message pciide.sys not found). Sometimes through task manager I can enable desktop but most times nothing happens just a blue screen. My operating system is XP SP2.
View 5 Replies View RelatedRunning winXP.I recently accidentally deleted Userinit.exe due to a false positive. Desktop would not load up but could still run programs.read somewhere that userinit.exe ran explorer.exe so tried running that from run.would start to work, brought desktop n everything up, but would freeze.on a whim i opened the control panel from run to see if there was anything i could do from there.When i ran control, it started my desktop and everything worked just fine.
Since then, i can start everything normally from running control when i start up. but i imagine it would still be healthier for my computer in general to have userinit working properly. however, here is where my computer knoledge fades. from reading other similar probs, it would seem that userinit has different parts? reg keys ect. only part of the whole working userinit configuration or whatever seems to have been deleted, since reading others who have had it fail completely dont appear to be able to do anything with their comps. so wondering how i can go about finding out which part i need to replace/fix. looked in i386, and there is a userinit, but when i go to copy it over to sys32, says overwrite? i didnt, since i would assume that means that part is fine. any ideas on what i need to replace?
had security tool malware on my laptop.ran malware anti to remove it and it said i had an infected userinit..so i deleted userinit.exe (big mistake).i have xp but do not have xp install cd.i have a floppy drive and a thumb drive cannot get back to my desktop NOR can i get to a c: anymore in safe mode believe i need to copy userinit.exe from somewhere back into c:windowssystem32 but do not know how with what i have to work with.

I am one of the most computer literate people I know, so when a co-worker mentioned to me that he was having problems with his computer, I agreed to look at it. His problem was simple, he had a lot of viruses. I have cleared most (however I assume not all) viruses and instinces of spyware. The computer worked fine for a little while while I did some final checks on his computer, then the problems started
I just installed a program that requires dot NET Framework to be installed.
Now when I boot up I have to press enter at the log on screen(i don't have a password to start windows).
What can I do so I don't have to press enter everytime I reboot my computer?
I cannot logon to xp. I don't have the icon logon so I can read to you exactly what it does
Loading your personal settings (this one goes fast but I think its playing logon sound)
Restoring network connections (during that I see my desktop background) something skips quickly through here, i think its executing WGAlogon.dll or something Saving your settings (background disappears)
and now I'm back in the logon box
I really don't have much information other than I can't login

yesterday i dl logonloader to change my logon screen. i went to deviantart to dl a new picture. it was a zip file and i used winrar to extract it. i logged off my computer and a black screen with a box popped up. it asked where to extract the file to and it automatically gave c:/windows/system32 as the location. i hit install and now i get an error message saying incorrect path. i cannot get back into my computer. i've tried extracting to other locations. windows support had me install another windows on my computer..so now i have 2 operating systems. but i still cannot access the other system to retrieve any files. is there anything i can do short of allowing everything to be erased and have the computer restored?

But I need help because my laptop isn't working. The problem is that when I get to the login screen there is no user account to click on and instead shows me just a blank spot where the button should be. I have tried using control-alt-del and it pops up as a different login screen, but when I try to login it says "cannot log in interactively".
I am facing difficulties to logon to my laptop. It runs on Windows XP SP2 and it has been working fine for the last 9 months. I have installed a software called "cnbtech" which is used to installed drivers for a camera.I restarted my laptop and the laptop stops in the Logon page. The weird part is that the user icon is not displayed on the screen.So the pressed "ctrl+alt+del" to open a page which shows my name as the user and it request for a password, but i do not have any idea about the password as i did not set any password before. I tried to enter the administrator mode but it request for a password as well, and i even tried to run on safe mode but the password is still being asked.There are so many important documents saved in it so i cannot afford to reformat my laptop. So i have removed my hardisk and connected it as an external hardisk to another laptop. Here i can view all the softwares and docoments stored in my hard disk.My opinion is that the "dll files" which are assigned to the Windows Logon might have been corrupted. I want to replace the dll files with a new one from another laptop. Now my problem is i don't know which dll files are assigned to the windows Logon.
View 2 Replies View RelatedTurned on the computer this afternoon, clicked my identity to log on to windows, entered my password and the logon process proceeded. However, at this point a strange little Windows-like box pops up withe a yellow triangle, a "yes" button and a "no" button. There is no other text in the box. Not being sure what the heck it was, I clicked NO and the computer booted up as normal. This box has appeared on each subsequent reboot. I have run AdAware, but Spybot S&D fails to respond each time I try to launch it (related?).

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis may be a coincidence but I installed a new anti-virus program on my laptop and and rebooted. When it restarted, I was presented with a user login screen and the only available account was "Guest". I have never previously had more than one user account and it always booted straight into XP using my default administrators account called "Peter".
I don't know how to recover the situation as when I login as Guest now I have no admin rights. I can see the "Peter" folder still exists under Documents & Settings and I really don't want to re-install XP Home if at all possible.
when i trying to access shared folder on the other PC on my LAN, the logon page only allow me to logon with guess account, the user field is disable and you cannot access with other user name, what you can do is key in the password.
