Pc shut downs


Recommended Posts

I had a mates pc which was riddled with many viruses. Some of which could not be detected via the spybots etc....I used this software and it picked up all of them. I then removed these, and now the pc wont boot up. It gives me the welcome screen and then when I log in it shuts down.

Any suggestions. It does sound like I have deleted some registry stuff maybe, but is there anyway to remedy this problem other than re-install?

Does it work in Safe Mode?

The desktop boots up and goes into the welcome screen. when you log in it then immediatly says "saving your settings and comes back to the welcome screen again. This also happens on safe mode.

Then you have one of two problems:

1) userinit.exe is missing, or has been broken.

2) The registry entry for userinit.exe is not pointing to userinit.exe

You need to do a repair install of Windows.

Do appreciate the reply, but after many hours of working through the Repair console I find that the desktop is reluctant to copy quite a few files over and will take me forever to copy them over manually. This is a friends pc and his friend who made the pc up for him took a copy of the drive, so its on its way up to him to rectify...I keep telling him not to go on those sites!!!

Thank you..
