Re: Issue with userinit.exe
You need to do following to solve this issue:
- Boot using your winxp cd. Enter recovery console.
- At the command prompt go to C:/windows/system32
- next type: copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe
- exit and reboot normally. You should now be able to logon. But you're not done yet!
- Run regedit
- Locate the Userinit key in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
- Modify the entry: C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsaupdater.exe
- so that it reads:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\userinit.exe
*****************************************************
expand d:\i386\userinit.ex_ c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe
D: = cdrom
