RE: Fatal system Error - Windows Logon system process terminated



Mmmm
This looked good - until I couldn't find any dirswith the refs below... The
only one I found was $MSI31UnInstallKB893803v2$
Looked in $hf_mig$ and found refs to some KBs and spuninst.exe etc.
Checked the KBnnn.log files and it seems that they all failed!!! I can see
where the uninstall directories should be but they are just not there.

I really need to preserve the documents folders for the children, the pc
which failed had nearly 6Gb of photos all taken by the students and used in
intranet pages... I know they should have been backed up but no room at the
inn - ran out of space (use mirror disks as backup on server).

Any further ideas please?

Getting desperate
