Boot Login Looping XP SP3

    Windows XP on Sony Vaio Desktop.
    PC boots to login screen. Put info into login, press enter, then unit, reboot, and we start all over again.

    Had this issue before and had to use a Bart PE to boot unit, and then make registry changes in Winlogon with Userinit changes.

    Does anyone have those directions or know of an easier fix.

    Thanks

    If you are now being looped back on your login screen, it means that userinit.exe file has been deleted, infected or corrupted or the registry keys associated with it may have been deleted or corrupted. Have you tried logging into safe boot mode? if that does not work then you will need to do the below:
