XP-Pro auto reboots on login...

[MALeonard]

Have had one box been trying to fix this, now another has same issue...

The users login to the domain, after a while thier screen saver lockup kicks in.

To get backin, they do the Cntl-alt-del to get the login window,
they enter thier ID & PW
Windows logs them in
the desktop starts to show
& then get the "Windows is shutting down" window
& the box reboots.

Anyone got anything on this?

This can be a few things, I know of a couple issues that cause it.

If you can get into Safe Mode then try a System Restore from there.

it is also the default behavior when Windows XP encounters a System failure. This behavior can be changed by going to the System applet in Control Panel, select the Advanced tab and click the Settings button under the Startup and Recovery heading. Under System failure, un-check Automatically restart.

If that fails, try this;

This, usually works. The problem is that some spyware, called blazefind, when removed (by Ad-aware) causes the what you are describing.

First boot your computer from your Windows XP restore cd/OS cd, when the menu comes up hit the R key to get to the recovery prompt.

The prompt should start off at C:\Windows. Type cd system32. The prompt should now read C:\Windows\system32

Type: copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe

Reboot
