When logging in username and pass are entered, then goes to personal

wallpaper with no icons and automatically logs straight back out. So I am

unable to log in at all. Please help!

Hi A Johnston,

 

If the following solutions do not work for you then please let me know.

 

You cannot log on to Windows XP after you remove Wsaupdater.exe

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=892893

 

--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 more information on how to gain access to the

Registry if you cannot by a networked registry.
