    Default Windows 2000 crashed after running Spybot

    Good Morning

    last night I ran Spybot and 22 problems were found and fixed.

    However on reboot, Windows 2000 will not load and keeps reverting to the login prompt.

    I did take a backup of the registry before running the scan. How do I restore this?

    Thanks

    Brinjal:

    If the problem was caused by the disruption of the following registry entry:
    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    Userinit=c:\winnt\system32\userinit.exe
    See this blog entry:

    There is also a suggestion by HP_XP_User to purchase "Fix It Utilities Professional version 8" which seems to be successful in correcting the problem. See this post.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
