| 694610 | 2008-08-07 06:04:00 | This may be to late, but if you can put it on another PC and scan with antimalware that's in my sig you may be able to rescue it. Just today I collected a customers PC with the exact same problem this morning. The drive was removed, scanned on a workshop PC, using Malwarebytes and super Antispyware - this found the infections and got it going good enough to run on its own. Then Malwarebytes, Super Antispyware, Spyware terminator Spybot S&D installed to remove the remainder, along with Nod32 antivirus- its now running sweet as. |

| 694611 | 2008-08-07 13:06:00 | after a failed install of Windows XP Media Center Unless I am getting it wrong, surely if it's an install thats not gone 100% it's better to do the installation again regardless? Am I missing something here? |

| 694612 | 2008-08-07 20:42:00 | Am I missing something here? Dont think so bevy, there actually could be two problems. Just reread the complete postings, there could have been a failed repair install ?? and that could have been because of the viruses mentioned in post #9. Both could be the cause of the userinit.exe error message. The reply I put above was fixed as I mentioned due to viruses. But you are right, if the new install went belly up, best to start again - but one thing that's seems "odd" - if its windows Media Center will an XP disc repair do it Why not just use the correct Disk in the first place? |

| 694615 | 2008-08-12 09:27:00 | Oh and you should get something that lets you do full system backups, those are lifesavers when you need them. | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
