Hello,

Do you have access to a network?
Or is this the only computer?
If you have access please try from another computer on your network, or by using Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows to edit the registry:

To fix this remotely, open Regedit.exe on your computer, select File>Connect Network Registry
Enter the name of the computer to fix and then browse to the location specified in the reg file: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Change the key “UserInit” to this value:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
You must include the , at the end of the string.

This should resolve the issue.

Here are some other tools that have offline registry edits:

eunet (http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/), mvps (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/peboot.htm) , ubcd4win (http://ubcd4win.com/index.htm)

Or follow the instructions here (http://thinkinginpixels.com/quick-fixes/fix-windows-xp-log-onlog-off-loop) to build a Bart PE CD.
