Hi,

Check this post:

If you can find no way of editing the registry outside Windows, try
using the recovery console and employing the following command

copy C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe
C:\Windows\system32\wsaupdater.exe

(this is one line separated by a space; supposing windows is installed
in C: and this was caused by blazefind)

Good luck

Hi,

From the link I posted:

"Here's my fix:

+ Get the offline registry/password editor from
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
There's a bootable linux CD image there, which is what I used. You
don't have to be linux-aware, since it starts the editor. You do have
to be patient,
since it's a simple command-line program.

+ Boot the editor CD, and follow the prompts to load the 'Software'
registry
and go into the full registry editor.

+ Navigate down to the Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon
key, and examine the value of the Userinit subkey. If it's not
"C:\WINDOWS\System32\
userinit.exe,", then change it. (Note: For some reason, simply
changing the
value was not enough to get the value change saved back to the Windows
registry. I got around this by adding a temporary key and then
saving.)

+ Quit and save, then go back through the editor process to make sure
the change took.

+ Remove the CD and reboot Windows. You'll have to wait through a
chkdsk, but that's a small price to pay for not having to rebuild your
system!

+ Run regedit and delete the temporary key you created in
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon

+ Back up your registry"

Hope this helps
