Hi & Welcome to MWR

I would be glad to help you with your computer problems.
HijackThis logs take awhile to research. Please be patient with me. I know that you want your problems solved quicky, and I will work hard to help you.

Please observe these rules while we work:

Hi there, and welcome to the forums!

First thing you need to is restart windows into safe mode as follow:

Click Start.

Select Shutdown.

Select Restart and click OK.

During restart, hold down the F8 key on your keyboard until the Windows Startup menu appears.

If your PC starts beeping then release the key for a few seconds before holding it down again.

Select Safe Mode from the Startup menu, and press the Enter button on your keyboard.

Windows should start in Safe Mode. If Windows doesn't restart in Safe Mode then please try again.

… start
… control panel
… add/remove programs

Find and remove these programs (if they are present)

windupdates

Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:

F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=userinit.exe,xpjava.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [Windows Messenger] msnsmgs.exe
O16 - DPF: {15AD6789-CDB4-47E1-A9DA-992EE8E6BAD6} - http://static.windupdates.com/cab/Media ... e-c267.cab
O23 - Service: lsa driver service (lsaDriver) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\lsa.exe


Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:

C:\WINDOWS\lsa.exe
userinit.exe
xpjava.exe


Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

If you were unable to find any of the files then please follow these additional instructions:

Download Pocket Killbox and unzip it; save it to your Desktop.

Run it, and click the radio button that says Delete a file on reboot. For each of the files you could not delete, paste them one at a time into the full path of file to delete box and click the red circle with a white cross in it.

The program will ask you if you want to reboot; say No each time until the last one has been pasted in whereupon you should answer Yes.

Let the system reboot.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look.

None of the 3 files were in c:\windows
however i found 2 userinit's in different folders and deleted them...

the other 2 files i couldnt find on the comp, so i just restarted.

i rebooted and my comp is now stuck on the screen where ur desktop icons are suppose to be but its not loading up any further than that.

Hi

Sorry :oops:

Can you boot into safe mode?

if so , goto Start, all programs, accessories,system tools, system restore

select Restore my computer to an earlier time


See if that gets things up and running

or

During restart, hold down the F8 key on your keyboard until the Windows Startup menu appears.

If your PC starts beeping then release the key for a few seconds before holding it down again.

Select Last Known Good Configuration from the Startup menu, and press the Enter button on your keyboard.

Let's see if these help

safe mode just takes me to the black screen where it says safe mode on all 4 corners.

the last known good config takes me to the desktop with no iocns.

Hi

Sorry for delay, You will need to repair Windows xp as follows:

Insert your Windows XP into CDrom, when the computer restarts when prompted Press any key

Then press Enter to setup windows xp

Agree License by press F8

Now select the copy of windows then press R, this will start the repair process

All this will do is reinstall Xp and it will leave your programs etc intact.

If any non approved drivers are found just press YES

Hi

I apologies for my mistake. :(

1. Restart your computer. As your computer restarts, repeatedly press the F8 key on your keyboard until the Windows Advanced Options menu appears.
2. Use the arrow key to select Safe Mode with Command Prompt, and then press ENTER.
3. Use an arrow key to select an operating system and press ENTER.
4. When prompted whether you want your Windows to run in safe mode, click Yes.

There is a copy of userinit.exe in C:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 folder.
copy it in to c:\windows\system32.

Type :

Copy C:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 folder\userinit.exe c:\windows\system32

Also please can you tell me the make and model of your computer, so i can find out how to change the boot sequence. So you can boot from CD.
