When you log in to Windows, the computer immediately saves your settings, logs off and returns to the login screen again.This is the result of a corrupt or invalid registry entry, which may have been changed by a virus or spyware. Therefore you are strongly advised to scan your computer for viruses and spyware as soon as possible.

Solution

Method 1

Try this method if you can start Windows in safe mode:

• Boot into safe mode.
• Click Start, Run and enter regedit
• Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft \Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
• Select the Winlogon folder.
• If the right-hand pane contains an entry named OldUserinit:
  - delete the entry named Userinit
  - rename OldUserinit to Userinit.
• Check that the value of Userinit is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe," (the comma at the end of the string is important.) Note: if your Windows folder is not C:\Windows, modify the path accordingly.

Method 2

If you have a Microsoft Windows installation CD:

• Perform a repair installation.

Method 3

Try taking the hard drive and attaching it to another Windows XP computer as a slave, or by using a USB-to-IDE adapter. Alternatively you can try making a BartPE recovery CD and booting the computer from that. Any method can be used that gives you read/write access to the hard drive.

Often, the registry entry referred to above has been changed from userinit.exe to wsaupdater.exe. Therefore you have a good chance of success if you just copy Windows\System32\userinit.exe to Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe

Method 4

Gain read/write access to your hard drive from another computer running the same version of Windows.

• Log in as administrator.
• Ensure that Windows Explorer folder options have enabled Show hidden files and folders.
• Click Start, Run and enter regedit
• Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
• Click File, Load Hive, then navigate to Windows\System32\Config on your hard drive (not the host system!)
• Select system and click Open.
• For Enter a Key name type anything.
• Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft \Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
• Select the Winlogon folder.
• If the right-hand pane contains an entry named OldUserinit:
  - delete the entry named Userinit
  - rename OldUserinit to Userinit.
• Check that the value of Userinit is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe," (the comma at the end of the string is important.) Note: if your Windows folder is not C:\Windows, modify the path accordingly. This is the Windows path when the drive is in use in your computer, not the drive letter it has currently.
• When you have made the changes click File, Unload Hive.
