Winlogon issue?

[Broni]

Apology accepted.
Go to my link. It's very well written.
You just need some time to read it carefully.

I actually found the file that is not running. 
Location
\INI\system.ini\BOOT\SHELL
Path
SYS:Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

What do you mean by not running? How did you find out?

[suptt]

I kept looking at the files that were autostarting each time I boot up my other computer and they are all the same except on one PC I have that SYS:...... file and on the other I dont.

I wouldn't play that way.
You can try....
1. If you have Windows CD, follow the steps from here: http://icrontic.com/articles/repair_windows_xp

2. If you don't have Windows CD...
Download Windows Recovery Console: http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/files/rc.iso
Download, and install free Imgburn: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
Using Imgburn, burn rc.iso to a CD.
Boot to the CD...let it finish loading.
When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
Then, follow the steps from here: http://icrontic.com/articles/repair_windows_xp, starting below this picture on page 1:


If the above doesn't work, run repair installation.

the windows repair should fix the issue. an issue you *could* fix manually- but it's like you have a magic wand that can fix almost any car problem and yet insist on replacing the head gasket yourself...
