2) Tried to repair through the windows cd....not possible

what happens when you try to run Repair ,can you get to the repair prompt and type in CHKDSK /F,,space between K and /

I think we need a whole load more information to diagnose your problem at a distance. Exact message text would help; also exactly where in the sequence does the message occur? Can you now log on to your user account? One of the things we have to establish is what destabilised your system in the first place.

So exactly what happens when you press what when Windows comes up?

[ananthojrr]

I tried repairing the windows again but this time it pops a msg....saying

A problem is preventing windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0x80004005

[ananthojrr]

also tried to put it in safemode to get into registry still im unable to login through safemode....

this means... check your bios... / advanced features set all settings to default.. and irq configuration page.. set to auto

it is hardware problem not about windows

your winlogon.exe is corrupted. you can get to a dos prompt with your xp cd and extract it to the destination directory. C:\Windows\system32

You would rename the files indicated in the method *.old. Then you would haul the replacements off the \i386 folder using the expand command.

As for \i386 - if you can get windows to boot in repair mode, there will be an i386 folder on the CD. Can't help you there!

Raj

could be that d:\ is not the drive letter of your cdrom ,do you have two cd drives in the computer

[Suspishio]

I see your problem.

I have two XP Pro Upgrade disks. One just has a Contents & a Software directory and no i386 inside.

The other (in a box marked Windows XP Pro version 2002 has the I386 directory in the root of the CD.

So that suggestion is of little use to you unless you can find a web location from which to download the files (someone on the forum might know ehere).

I really dont know, I did replace those files, *.old and everything listed on the forum. I need just to take a folder out the system and thats all. I think there is still the third party conflict stopping my login, could be the trend micro 2007 antivirus. I need to disable this, which can only be done if i enter into program files through the recovery console.

How can we enter into the program files through the recovery console in XP. access deined is the msg appearing if i want to enter into the program files, to stop my anti-virus.

any suggestions guys.....

[Suspishio]

You could kill Trend AV from the Task Manager Processes tab, I'd have thought.

Have a laptop with this problem and have just run all the file replacements (expanded) suggested (My drive was E: btw). Sadly, it still fails Administrator logon in safe mode. I have also expanded userinit.ex_ to system32 (it matched the old userinit in size) and copied it to wsaupdater.exe.

The laptop owner, by the way, feels sure the problem was caused running SpyBot rather than the lavasoft adaware problem of 2004 (which surely must have been fixed by now!)

I agree the only way forward must be to achieve regedit when one might see what the logon is looking for. If I come across a way to do this for a machine not networked into a server system I'll post it. Meanwhile further suggestion would be great. If they work. C'mon you brains.
