Accidentally Deleted userinit.exe cant login

[Broni]

Why? You need to tell us more, than just "no".

when i try it it says setup cannot find the end user licensing agreement (EULA) and i dont have that cd to put in the computer i have no cds at all for the computer.

You can run repair install with borrowed XP CD. Ask around.

I have a reinstallaion CD for Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2, sent to me by Dell..The laptop is a Gateway...Will this work?

[Broni]

Unfortunately not. That's only for reinstalling Windows. If you do this all your private data and installed (by you) programs will be gone.
You need regular Windows CD to perform repair.

Thanks for all your help. I will have to find someone with that CD. Much appreciated.

[Broni]

You're welcome
I'm pretty sure, someone will have Windows CD.

And the version installed and Service Packs need to match the CD borrowed...

[Broni]

I was waiting for you to say that

Adding to patio's comment...that would be the best, but, if you can get ANY Windows XP CD, we can work it out, by slipstreaming needed service pack into it.

Couldn't i just buy one? Do you know about how much they run for?

[Broni]

You sure could, but they're not cheap: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=windows+xp+pro+cd+&x=17&y=17

Will choices 1 and 3 work? or just 1.....And will these work for sure?

[Broni]

#1 yes.
I can't guarantee you, it'll work, but it's a good starting point and everyone should have Windows CD.
Make sure, your XP version is the same (Home, or Pro).

[tabbylove17]

Theirs a little sticker on the back of the laptop that says Windows 2000 Professional 1-2CPU is this the exact windows cd i will have to get? And would you suggest finding a used one online or is that risky?

[Broni]

Hmmm....
Go Start>Run and type in:
winver
Click OK.

What does it say?
