Windows XP: Windows logs off after logging on
Windows logs off after logging on
by sbgame - 5/5/08 6:05 PMI select my account and enter my password. Windows begins to load my personal settings but then quits and goes back to the login screen showing the user accounts. I can stop this from happening by moving the mouse while my settings are being loaded.
What is causing this?
Do other accounts work?

If so, a corrupt account or something in your startup group.

We have 4 other accounts that work just fine. I am the admin. Anything I should look at or search for in particular?
Fix.

Create a new account and move there. Here's a discussion on how to -> http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6142_102-0.html?forumID=5&threadID=23192&messageID=252076#252076
No. I will not discuss repair of a corrupt profile. Microsoft has not issued tools or definitive fixes for this.

I had a failing hard disk (was getting slow and mechanically noisy). This problem also existed on that disk. After I replaced the disk (I built it from scratch from the original Dell software) the problem ended for some time (3 weeks). Now it's back.
This is an odd problem don't you think? How does somethng get corrupt? Is it usually malicious code written by someone that made its way to my computer?
Good luck.

Hope it all works out for you. The links I provided should have helped you make a new profile to try out without loss.

Windows logon then logoff
by dstump - 5/14/08 9:44 AM In reply to: Windows logs off after logging on by sbgameEdit registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
Edit the Value “Userinit”
To "C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe," and not "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Explorer.exe,". include the comma.
Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
In the right-pane, change the value of Userinit to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,"
Type the above value exactly as given, including the comma - exclude the quotes. Also, change the path to userinit.exe appropriately if Windows is installed in a different drive.
Close Registry Editor and restart Windows.
windows logs off after logging in
by mcarver--2008 - 7/2/08 11:27 AM In reply to: Windows logs off after logging on by sbgameI tried all of the solutions I read regarding copy userinit.exe over wsaupdater.exe, copying from another machine, from the disk, etc. Nothing worked. Then I connected via remote regedit and noticed the data value c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe was missing! Now it works. and only 5 hours later! I hope this helps
Logging off immediately after log on
by lisacherrylane - 7/10/08 9:29 PM In reply to: windows logs off after logging in by mcarver--2008I'm running Windows XP on a Dell dimension 3000. I'm having that same problem, my computer logs me off right after I log on. I've tried just about everything written in this forum including the ones you mentioned, and nothing works! I can't get to where I can change anything from my recovery CD. You said you used a remote regedit. Can you tell me what that is and how you did it?
