I'm running XP Home Edition, SP2, on a Sony Vaio
For the last few months, whenever I login, I can see my desktop for a few
seconds, and then XP sends me back to the login screen. When I login the
second time, I'm in for good. This doesn't happen all the time, just most
of
the time.
I seldom logout, I simply have the screen saver reauthenticate me, so its'
probably the authentication that I'm logging into first.
Is there any rational explanation for this behavior, or any fix?
You cannot log on to Windows XP after you remove Wsaupdater.exe

--OR--
The problem may be an incorrect system drive letter. With a networked
machine, open the registry and connect to the problematic machine and
navigate to:
[MACHINE_NAME\HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices]
and delete all values that look like this:
\DosDevices\C
\DosDevices\D
\DosDevices\E
and so on
When finished, make sure you disconnect the machine from the registry. There
are other ways to gain access to the registry if you cannot connect to the
problematic machine via networked Registry. Please let me know if you need
information on how to gain access to the Registry if you cannot by a
networked registry.
