Guest Björn Urbanek Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Hello! I have an mystical problem: I have an Win XP SP2 Workstation. (Always on). Different users uses this PC for remote or local login. After an undefined time it isn't possible to log in, after entering the correct user datas nothing happend. It just appears the CRTl-ALT-DEL-Screen again. After an reebot it works fine, until the effect appears again. The event log doesn't say something interesting about this. My idea is, that it could depend with an problem with the winlogon.exe - process? ANy other ideas what it could be and HOW can i solve it? Thanks!!

The symptoms you describe are usually caused by userinit.exe rather than winlogon.exe. However, they tend to be permanent, not transient. In view of the intermittent nature of your problem I suggest you collect some data by getting the Task Scheduler to run this batch file once every five minutes: @echo off if not exist c:\Logs md c:\Logs echo %date% %time:~0,5% >> c:\Logs\test.log set system >> c:\Logs\test.log cacls %SystemRoot%\system32\userinit.exe >> c:\Logs\Test.log cacls %SystemRoot%\system32\winlogon.exe >> c:\Logs\Test.log When the problem occurs next, have a look at the log file and check if there is any difference. By the way, is the problem restricted to domain logins or does it happen on local logins too?

Thanks for your answer. I will use the script, hope to find something. The problem happen on local and domain logins.
