859266 2010-02-16 20:39:00 Will it boot into safe mode / or safe mode / networking? Speedy Gonzales (78)
859267 2010-02-16 20:47:00 None NZHawk (4093)
859268 2010-02-16 21:09:00 Could be the userinit.exe file is damaged or misguided in the reg.

The reg entry may be looking for c:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe instead of c:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe.

What you may need to do is boot from a Bootable CD that allows you to run regedit, then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and modify the "Userinit" key to read C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe
