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:

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 (http://forums.spybot.info/member.php?u=43614) to purchase "Fix It Utilities Professional version 8" which seems to be successful in correcting the problem. See this post (http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=208934&postcount=21).
