Logon Process Initialization Failure

[isenau]

Wondering if you of you techie guys out there could immediately respond to the problem here ' Interactive logon process initialization has failed please consult the event log for more details'. Now I couldn't go pass this message to log on the system to get to the desktop after a boot scan by AVAST antivirus run. The message just hang in there with no log on screen. Need your tips.

reboot? legitimate version of windows?

can you press f8 on boot and select repair?

if so use this to try a restore point from before the problem--or automatic startup repair

if not you may have to use a live cd to browse to the event log--then copy the event log read it on another pc then

copy a working copy of the corrupt file back to the faulty pc--this is a bit more complicated though

the event log should be somewhere like

c\system32\winevt\Logs\Application.evtx

I Have this same problem but my laptop is a netbook and has no CD drive. Also can this be performed with any other windows 7 or must it be the same like home basic/home basic etc
