Winlogon.exe And Svchost.exe Errors After SP2 Installation
Feb 23, 2008
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:
copy msgina.dll msginabackup.dll
copy E:I386MSGINA.DL_ msgina.dll
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.

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:

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.

SVChost.exe has generated errors & will be closed by Windows. YOu will need to restart. An error log is being created.re-formatted hard disk drive & re-installed Windows & apps about 6 weeks ago to get rid of redundant / incompatible software. I had been using Norton AV & Roxio Easy Media Creator. I am now using Panda Platinum Internet Security 2005 & Today, I attempted to perform "routine maintenance"; chkdsk & defrag.I ran error checking, checked both boxes, accepted invitation to run chkdsk at reboot because exclusive access to Hard disk drive was required. Using msconfig.exe, I set computer to boot to safe mode so I could run defrag in safe mode. I have done these things in the past, with no problems. Login screen appeared. I typed my password, but nothing appeared. Computer unresponsive to keyboard / mouse input. I pulled the power cord after waiting 5 minutes.

I have been trying to dual boot my Vista Ultimate system and XP, the problem I run into is that once I get the XP partition, put in the XP boot disc and restart the system the XP install starts. It loads the drivers that it needs for the install but then I get the blue screen saying that windows has shut down to protect the computer. I do have a SATA drive and I've heard this causes issues but I haven't heard of one exactly like mine before (I never get to the actual installation just the pre-loading).

I recently built a new computer and it has been just an incredible load of troubles ever since the first boot up. I first installed Windows 2000 so I can actually boot up my computer then upgraded to Windows XP SP2. After this I had a messload of trouble getting errors during the XP installation which I believe were various fonts. Skipping over this the installation was successful and I was enjoying Windows XP. Now I did the automatic updates that is recommanded and let then download and install. Once they installed and the system rebooted, I never got to enjoy my computer.
After the restart the computer would hang where the log in screen should be then restart and do this over and over again. I thought this was an installation problem so I reinstalled 2000 so I could just reformat and fix the problem. Now my computer is rejecting every time I try to reformat and reinstall 2000 giving me various blue screen fatal errors and errors during the Windows 2000 setup preventing the installation from going any further..............

There are system boxes coming up with registry and dll errors and the whole system seems SLOW.

The family computer is playing up and to the best of my knowledge the computer in question just simply suddenly stopped working as it should. I am unable to get the 'default' welcome screen upon start up and am getting the logon box where you type in a username and passworld. I know how to get rid of this, user accounts>enable welcome screen - but it will not solve the problem.This is just the start of the problems. I get a whole host of errors which popup one after another.

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

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'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.

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 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'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?
