i got a virus on my laptop and now everytime i try to log onto the system, it looks like it is logging on, but just switches back to the home screen and says it is logging off. i have tried starting it in safe mode, but even that won't work. is there anything i can do?
On doing a bit of research a couple of people have solved this problem by using the Recovery Console on the XP CD. Another possible solution to this is to try the following: 1. Boot from a Windows XP CD and go into the recovery console. 2. Log into the administrator account. 3. Change your current directory to the system32 folder. type: cd c:\windows\system32 4. Overwrite wsaupdaterexe with userinit.exe. type: copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe 5. Exit and reboot. type: exit (computer will automatically reboot, take CD out). If none of these work then you could try a system restore to restore the system to how it once was at an earlier date.
