Ok, so the problem is that on a different computer, which uses Windows XP (i also never installed the SP2 on it) it got all fudged up somehow and whenever i try to log into an identity, it automatically logs right off that identity somehow. so i searched online on how to fix it, and i found a page which included this info:
anyways i was able to boot using the winxp cd, then i got into the recovery console, but i can't figure out how to go to "C:/windows/system32" because i have to use some kind of command off some list after i typed in "help" to see the possible commands. does someone here know what command i must use or whatever to be able to open up that folder so i can continue along to try and fix the computer. any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind, i got it figured out, if a mod could close this that would be great thanx.

1. Boot using your winxp cd.
2. Enter recovery console.
3. at the command prompt go to
C:/windows/system32
4. next type:
copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe
5. exit and reboot normally. You should now be able to logon. But you're not done yet!
6. run regedit
7. find the Userinit key in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
8. modify the entry:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsaupdater.exe
so that it reads:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\userinit.exe
That should do the trick! no reinstalling windows required!
