Hi Kev,
No, from the Recovery Console, go into the C:\Windows\system32 folder and
copy userinit.exe as wsaupdater.exe
C:\Windows>CD\Windows\system32
C:\Windows\system32>copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe
Then restart normally. This should get you past the login, and you can
correct the registry entry that caused this in the first place.
