Re: 4 Users on XP Home, 1 users dies during logon????

Hi Kelly,

These did not find any problems:
>Ad-Aware SE, Spybot, CWShredder and HijackThis
HJT log is 56 lines!

I applied the change you suggested:

user that has a problem and the system still locked up.

My question is how do you make changes to a user who is not logged in
so when they start the changes will take place. I've searched the
registry for all the "runonce" key and looked in all the "run" keys
and there is nothing.

MSDN KB indicates that the system was didn't complete SP1a (XP Home),
but SP 2 is installed. "Office Update" and "Windows Update" both
indicate that there are no more updates for this box. I wonder what
the problem could be.

Thanks for your assistance.
