Logon Error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics,microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

In trying to logon I have been getting the following error:


The System cannot log you on due to the following error:

The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect

From the microdsoft site I oculd find out that this has an error code of 24
but I could not see what to do about it.


This happens with all of the people that log in. I was able to go back to
an earlier recovery point but the problem has happened again. Any ideas as
to why this error would all of sudden begin appearing?

Thanks,

Tony

This is on XP with SP2 right? Because I just received the same thing
this morning.. I wasn't able to login in safe mode (the same error.
But Last known configuration worked.

Kazi - Restart the computer and as it is starting, repeatedly tap the F8
key (just like when you want to get to Safe Mode). This will bring you
to the menu you need to choose Last Known Good Configuration.

A windows update caused the same to happen to a friends windows xp box.
Thanks for the heads-up on last known configuration.
