After using spyware programs the other day and the new microsoft beta program
to adjust my startup programs, I am now unable to login to windows. When I
type in the correct password, it begins to apply the settings but then kicks
back to the password screen. I know the password is correct because it
accepts it when I use the intall/repair disc. I don't enough about DOS to try
and startup windows once in at that point (although that wouldn't fix the
problem in and of itself).
I did delete a file that the program told me was a bad file,
c:winnt\system32\auserinit.exe. I don't know if that has anything to do with
my problem though.
Any help is greatly appreciated. The computer is for my business so I can't
risk losing data which hasn't been backed up in about a month.
Thanks in advance.
