The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP Pro logon loop at welcome screen

Asked by sshrum in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: xp, windows, loop, logon, login

Win XP Winlogon settings!  I've read through all of the threads about resetting the registry to point to the right file in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
with the userinit being set to \WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe (it is a 24,00 byte file) but I still can't login to either admin or user account.

My windows directory is on a SATA channel and have tried the path as C: and as E: which is where it shows up if I boot to recovery console.  I have gotten BARTPE and regedit to work on the bad machine but am still stuck and don't want to repair XP for fear of losing data.

I can't get to anything when booting to XP Pro past the welcome screen, so I can't run spyware/antivirus.

My winlogon registry is quite short on the machine that is not working versus the one right next to it.  Could someone paste the contents of the winlogon registry here?

I've also tried the renaming to wsaupdater.exe without success.  My reg file makes no reference to it at all.
I tried changing the key to explorer.exe as mentioned before without success.  Shell is set to explorer.exe already.

Help.
