Missing USERINIT.EXE

Missing USERINIT.EXE

Post by Dan » Wed, 02 Jun 2004 10:31:22


While trying to remove a virus, I found an infected file,
USERINIT.EXE, in the system32 folder that was infected.
Without enough caution, I simply renamed this file and now
cannot login. After some additional searching, I found out
that this exe is necessary and I can not login to rename
it back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am "dead in the
water".

Thanks
Dan

Perform a "Manual Repair" and select to "Verify Windows System Files", as
this MS Knowledge Base article explains:
