Automatic immediate Logoff as soon as Login

Multi-media XP on a Sony Vaio.

Same issue, (immediate log out)
Tried some solutions, and them some:
1. wsaupdater issue
2. "Repaired" XP

It is not, imo, a boot issue. If you couldn't boot, you wouldn't be able to make the original log-in.

It is, I think, a regestry issue. I love the MSFT resolution for the wsaupdater solution: copy userinit to wsaupdater, reboot and edit the resestry. Can't do that if I still get an immediate log-off.

I have done everything I can think of, short of using KNOPIX to hand edit the regestry.

Terminal log-ons produce the same result.
And I can't do the "safe mode" log-on w/or w/out networking. If I could, I could access the regestry.

Any further help much appriciated.

XP multi-media on a SONY Vaio

I have seen this when i was playing around in the User controles of XP Pro, what my problem was that i set some users to auto reboot if they had done a certin type of log on, if you can acess "user rights", than your A ok. just look for what seems off, if this doesn't help sorry.

Still have to have log-on access.
I have also been thru the regestry restoer process.
Can't access a local account, can't access a domain accoount, can't access over the network.

Still trying...

Well I'll be frelled. Was able to access via safe mode w/OUT networking. SO far so good.
Will post answer if/when I fond it.

Some interesting developments.

CAn log on in safe mode wihout network connection, but only if network is disconnectinted.
Can not log in in either safe mode if netwokr is copnnected.

Have found the solution to MY problem, but masybe not yours.

For reasns too detailed to go into here, seems to have been a registration (activate windows) problem.

Hopwever, I would recommend checking the following key:

local_machine\software\microsoft\windows NT\Current version\winlogon
