Or connect it to another system (thats got Vista on it, just make sure its the same version 32 or 64 bit), copy that userinit file in safe mode, see what happens

749486 2009-02-22 05:53:00 If you can find it you'll probably have to extract it

Open up a command prompt (probably have to run it as admin).

Once you copy it (if you find it), if this command exists in vista

Depending on where you copy this file to on the hdd , cd to it, in the command prompt

cd (wherever you copy it to on the hdd)

expand userinit.ex_ (or whatever its called) folder where the current userinit.exe file is, (it may not let you do this), then reboot

It maybe called userinit.ex_ or something on the dvd

Only thing is, it may not be the same version as (whats on your hdd right now). You may have to go through add/remove programs, click on all the updates since SP1, and go to the MS site to find out which update installed the version of userinit.exe thats installed.

If you manage to extract the file from the DVD, right mouse / properties on it and the installed one. See what the version is

Or do a search on the hdd for userinit.exe. See if there's more than 1 userinit.exe. If there is and the other file is the same size and version copy it to the same folder as the infected file in safe mode
