Glen and William -- thank you very much for your replies -- I really,

I tried what I could -- I can't boot to safe mode with command
prompt, so I couldn't try system restore.
And the last one from William, editing the registry on a networked
computer, I can't try because although the machine is networked when
it's properly logged on, I can't access it when it's not.
Hi Kren,
If you cannot access the machine via networked registry then please try
this method using a BartPE Bootable CD.
1. Make a BartPE Bootable CD
Bart's Preinstalled Environment (BartPE) bootable live windows
CD/DVD
http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
Follow the directions on their webpage to create this CD/DVD.
2. Boot the Computer with the BartPE CD/DVD.
3. Open the Run dialog box from the Start Menu and type "regedit.exe"
without the quotes.
4. Highlight the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" hive.
5. From the File menu select "Load Hive".
6. Navigate to the following location on your hard drive.
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\config"
and select the file "SYSTEM". (Has no file extension)
7. Name the Hive "MyPC".
8. Navigate to this location in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyPC\MountedDevices]
9. Delete all values that look like this:
DosDevices\C
DosDevices\D
DosDevices\E
and so on
10. Highlight this registration key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyPC]
11. From the File menu select "Unload Hive"
12. Reboot and remove BartPE CD/DVD.
13. Try logging into Windows.
NOTE: You could also remove the hard drive and attched the drive as a
slaved hard drive to a working Windows XP/2003 machine to perform these
steps.
Hi William,
What about having Kren run the procedure in the article you cited, from a BartPE CD boot?
You cannot log on to Windows XP after you remove Wsaupdater.exe
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=892893
I'm not sure she has actually been able to try that procedure yet, due to not being able to log on to use regedit.

In Registry Editor, expand
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
In the right pane, right-click userinit, and then click Modify.
Replace wsaupdater.exe with userinit.exe, (make sure to include the comma, as shown), and then click OK.
