HI I recently had some virus\spyware problems so I ran a number of scans and now when I boot, it goes to the logon screen, and when I click on my name, it starts to logon, then immediately logs off again and I'm back to the logon screen. I have tried in safe mode where I have my user name and the Admin user name and it does the same thing there as well. I have researched the problem online and have found that it could be the result of the BlazeFind malware. I have tried the fixes that I have found online but none have worked. I tried booting from the cd and going to Recovery Console where I then tried the "copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe" trick. This didn't work and I got the following message - 'the system cannot find the file specified'. I tried regsvr32 /u "%Systemroot%\System32\omniband.dll" in Recovery console which didn't work - it actually said to do it by clicking Start, Run, CMD but I tried it from Recovery Console. I have tried all the F8 options...safe mode, last known good etc. I have tried a repair install of XP. None of these have worked. Does anybody have any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

What happens when you try to do a repair install of XP ?

Logs off before fully logged on- http://www.computing.net/answers/wi... Response Number 2 looks like a fix.

HI When I do a repair install, it does the exact same thing when its' finished....I try to logon and it immediatley logs off. I have tried the fix from response number 2 but I get this .. 'the system cannot find the file specified' I have also tried recovery console chkdsk /r thanks for your replies!

Hi Thanks for your replies. I managed to get this fixed by copying the unerinit.exe file from the XP cd to the system32 directory from recovery console. I rebooted and was back in action. Thanks for your help!
