I built my PC 3 months ago and it has been working fine till today when I treid to boot up.
When I press power I get small log on Box I never saw before, which ask me to put in my passwrod (The strange thing is I never put a password on this PC) Also a few days prior to this when it started up I started getting the Administrator ICon (to click) I never has this before either (it wud normally just boot and go straight into the Desktop. and when I check the Account I saw 2 one is theAdministrator and the other called Micosoft Net Framework 1.1 .........(I had installed this prior with a program that needed it.

Now I only get the small log on box

As I never had a passwrod I chuck click OK, and then it appears to go into the Desktop scene when a another boc comes up and says

The last thing I did yesterday was install a game I had downloaded from a Usenet group along with a No CD crack file

Sorry for the long thread but I tried to be as detailed as possible

And you wonder why your getting trouble ??

I sugest you put you hard drive in another computer and copy your data off,

then reformat or google for a fix.

Pro Girl,
Thanks for nothing
Your callous and insensitive response is not appreciated
Thats response is typical of a person who is lazy and doesnt know what to do.
If you dont know what do do, Dont place responses like above
I already googled for a fix that how I came across this Forum
Im not as stupid as you think I am

Po'Girl is right, you need to do this to back up your file.


Opinion 1
Take out the hard drive and put in the friend's computer ( Make sure you change the jumper to slave so you can boot your friend's os first, and you can copy your important file to your friend's HD and burn it to cd.

After that you can reformat.


Opinion 2

You can re-install under the new name, but when the setup comes up after you want to start fresh, make sure you select " Leave the current configuration <No Change>" under the format opinion

The Setup will delete the XP files, but it leaves your files in the Document and Settings.

It will reinstall, so you will re-gain your stability toward the OS and recover your account.


Two choices, easy to call

Your post is of NO Help

Well, for starters

As I said to"PoorGirl" and I will re-iterate, Im not that stupid as some ppl assume.
There is no need to do a full install of windows.
Especially when you have a 500 Gb hardive and over 100Gb of Programs on it and also when you dont have the installation CDs for all the Programs.

The first thing I did was remove the Hardrive and USB it to another PC and transfer my stored files, but as I said, what good are files when you dont have the programs to run them.
It is obvious to me (as an Amateur), that this is a bug : either some sort of Malware Spyware or Virus that has hinged itself on to the useritnt.exe file and probably changed its registry settings hence the reason it is asking me to put in a password that I never assigned to my PC,

Also the Fact that it is using my name (that I gave to the PC) in the Log on box assures me that what I believe to be true.

Simple common sense when you have problems like this would be to start in the Safe mode and try to access the Registry (as I have just done already) and (which neither of you advised me to).

I have now have been able to access the control panel and have checked the Accounts and discovered another account was made without my knowledge (obviously from the bug that has affected my PC) as no one else uses the PC
There is the Administrator and also another Account under my name (what I gave to the PC which I never made)
I have since deleted that account, and did a system restore just before the day that I installed the game with the No CD crack.

There seems to be a bad bug of some sort circulating among Usenet, and other file hosting sites since I have googled and found similar thread to mine.

The Last thing I would do or advised anyone to do is to re-install windows, when u have valuable Programs and info that you cant re-install, particularly when Windows is booting to the Log on screen.

I am sure that wouldnt be the first thing you both would do to your PCs .....so why give that advice to others?????

Its like telling me that because my Car engine wont start that I should buys a New Engine when in fact all I need is to get a mechanic to find out whats wrong and Fix it from there not change the whole thing.

I know I may get banned for saying this but it wouldnt matter cause I have not had any positve help from you two
I really think if you 2 work voluntarily for this site that you should not be here giving any advice because it is very Poor advice........you both sound Junior to me (particularly) that I am an Amateur, I just built this PC the other day by reading a book (No experience I had before).

You can disable DEP by editing the startup settings. Boot with a XP CD to recovery console, type bootcfg /rebuild to create a new boot.ini, then for parameters type /fastdetect /noexecute=AlwaysOff. The latter turns DEP off completely (default is OptIn, I think).

However, it's meant to protect your computer, so I'd try overwriting userinit.exe with a working one instead. If you don't have another XP installation to use, copy a valid userinit.exe the same way you replace other files in recovery console.

If that doesn't work (you can't write to that directory, for example), then I'd try with a Linux live-CD with NTFS read & write support.

I have been looking for that for ages.

What is the name of the distro ?

 

[Fragrant Coit]

Ubuntu has NTFS Support built in & runs Live.

I'd remove the Drive 1st, hook up to another PC directly, or in a USB Enclosure, and scan for Viruses / Malware before doing anything else. If you have got something suss in there, you could be wasting your time until it's removed.

Search for a Linux live CD/DVD with ntfs-3g installed.

Thanks,

First thing i thought about it, it was Knoppix Live DVD. Guess I was wrong
