[URGENT] userinit.exe

[Guest]

hi...
I-m posting from debian, but i need to run my windows 2000 adv. serv. again, and soon.
the thing is that i deleted the key value from the registry which refers to userinit.exe
which i think it is located at

then, i rebooted the PC, and then tried to login, the login was ok, the desktop begun showing, but then i saw "Saving your preferences" or something like that (the message when u turn off your pc or when u close your session, in spanish) and then it went back to the login screen !!

look: i never saw the userinit.exe in the start list, so i thought it was a trojan. and well.. this are my limitations to fix the problem.

my pc starts with LILO, the linux loader, so i cannot but with CDROM.
i must find a way from linux or other stuff to edit the registry and restore back again, or do something, but plz post a solution coz i can become mad soon, very very mad !!! i work with websites, etc. and need this urgent to work...

thanks a lot

If you have another partition, install an alternate copy of W2K.
Use it to offline edit the registry/

well..
I'm trying to find a way to boot from any cd-rom...
remember that debian installed LILO and i just can boot debian and my "not working" copy of win2k...
i saw that remote registry editing worked for some which had this same userinit.exe trouble, but i'm sure i disabled remote registry editing...

what a days I'm having with these trojans and spyware, adware, etc.

if u have another solution, i still dont want to format my windows... coz i have lot of software installed for video edition, etc. etc.

thanks !!

Well the booting from CD should not care about LILO or
Debian or Win2K. It's booted from the BIOS.

Folow the tips suggested, and good luck!

Thanks Nathan
you were right...
my brother choosed USB-CDROM as 1º device for booting process...
he has all the fault... that's why i thought LILO had something of fault.. but well, i booted, fixed, and now happy again...

thanks
