Question Windows cannot find wininit.exe

Greetings to all,

When I start Windows ME I get this
"WININIT.EXE:MISSING\UNABLE TO LOAD PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE." and before my desktop loads another error comes up stating: "WINDOWS CANNOT FIND '\P' YOU MAY HAVE TYPED THE NAME INCORRECTLY IN THE RUN DIALOG OR ANOTHER OPEN PROGRAM CANNOT FIND A SYSTEM FILE. TO SEARCH FOR A FILE, CLICK THE START BUTTON, AND THEN CLICK SEARCH

This issue can occur if your computer is infected with a virus. The Win32.Weird and Bymer viruses are known to cause this issue.
