I do believe my Windows XP Media Edition registry is clobbered.  I removed a

same way when trying to come up in safe mode.  I've copied the userinit.exe
to wsaupdater.exe and still logs you off.  I really hate to wipe out my hard
drive and reinstall the OS.  Is there any way to reinstall the OS without
formating the HD?

Thanks for any help.

If you have an original XP MCE install CD, you follow the methods of
doing a "repair reinstall" when you reboot and start the PC from that
CD.

If you have a "recovery" style CD / partitions, then it depends on the
manufacturer of the PC. Some manufacturers may give you a method to re-
install without erase but it seems that most do not.
