WinXP Home Problem... don't stay logged in
Well.. I was working on a friends PC today. It was loaded with a bunch of spyware which was causing it to run very very slow. Anyway, I did what I always do to clean off spyware. I installed and updated Ad-Aware and TrojanHunter. After they were up to date I rebooted into safe mode and ran a full scan with both. AdAware picked up and removed over 200 threats and TrojanHunter found about 3 Trojan files.
After both scans and clean up I then rebooted the PC to start windows normally. Now the PC automaticly logs into windows, but the windows just logs me back out just as fast. It does this under the username and the administrator account. I tried going back into safemode but the same thing happens. Windows logs me in then immediately logs me right back off. I've disconnected all peripherals and even tried a different keyboard incase a button was stuck. I'm lost as to how to fix this problem. I was going to run Windows Repair from the windows disc, but HP decided that they do not include windows discs with their PCs. Anyone have any Idea on how to fix this problem? I have Windows XP Pro, can you run a repair of XP Home off an XP Pro disc? Thanks |

Hold down shift or F8 key at boot and try "Last Known Good Configuration".

I have the same problem with a friends e machine. He used a trojan hunter and deleted a system32 file, now windows loads but when you try to log on to any account, even in safe mode it logs you straight out again. No error messages, I have tried repair console, copying userinit.exe file from my machine to his, no joy.
To make maters worse he has no restore disk and because it is a non standard installation I do not get the repair install option. It must be a missing file but which one. |
