Hello all,

I have a little problem and I thought u guys can help me out. I just ran Norton 360 and logged off for the nite. when I tried to log on the next morning windows would log me off at the start up screen after loading my personal setting (then log right off) I tried getting into xp in safe mode but can't get in. Any help would be really great.

Hi,

Just done a quick google for you and found this, might be the same problem your having :-


This problem turns out to be that the Winlogon userinit entry is being set to "wsaupdater.exe" instead of "userinit.exe".

1. Boot from a Windows XP CD and go into the recovery console.

2. Log into the administrator account.

3. Change your current directory to the system32 folder. type:
cd windows
cd system32

4. Overwrite wsaupdater.exe with userinit.exe. type: copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe

5. Exit and reboot. type: exit (computer will automatically reboot, take CD out).

HTH
