XP Home: User Log-on attempts lead to endless loop

After moving our household to a regional setting UN-cyber-friendly, our desktop PC went seven months without access to the internet (may to December 2013).  Using the service for the first time yesterday, I installed blindly Express all the 30 + automatic updates that were missed during the hibernation of the processor. That was apparently a very bad idea.  While my own administrator-level user account is currently no apparent problem, user account administrator-level of my wife on the same computer will not have a log - on.  Several restarts and attempt to be log-ons reached the same freezeout allowing the logon attempt run its course up to three hours, just to see if things would finally worked themselves went nowhere.

The Task Manager shows a regular use of the CPU to 100%.  The percentages of individual processes fluctuate to the same cyclical pattern.  Concerned active processes are:
Verclsid.exe
Explorer.exe
Csrss.exe
Winlogon.exe
MsMpEng.exe

He spent several hours scouring various forums and communities, and it seems that there are some buggy updates to Windows that are known to cause CPU redline issues and that I picked up probably with my automatic update download mass.  The problem is, I do not find one that specifically addresses this particular issue of logon, or appear in tandem with the other processes listed above.  If anyone can lend a hand, sure would appreciate it.  Thank you.


Thank you, Andrew.  The pc I am running is the Dell Dimension 2400 desktop package came pre-loaded with XP Home edition 2003.  In reference to "log" was perhaps a bit too wide.  Specifically, errors occur immediately after log-in, during the process of loading the user's desktop, settings, and programs on behalf of my wife.  Interestingly, the same thing happens on the guest account, but my own account continues to operate normally.  Fortunately, my administrator status allowed me to access and recover his files photo & doc, I've archived on a flash (after security analysis, of course) for extra security.

I appreciate counsel, but after yesterday against MS's announcement that XP is now considered a dead platform and that he won't MS support as of April 14, let's just use the portable Windows 8 and allow our terminal pc 11 years to die a natural death.  RIP, XP.  (But you can burn in the cyber-Hades, WordPerfect).  Thanks again, Andrew.

  • migration files in/Home/Users

    Hello

    El Capitan uses / users and / Home, my linux box uses/Home.  I can't COPY files directly from there (cannot mirror - mirror does not change the directory name).  But that's not all.  My scripts under linux contain / home in them (they should not, but freeBSD linux and others, a few of you forced him to do).  Also some Documents contain same/home/user (links to files).

    then, "I need/Home" for me and El Capitan is parked at my place!

    to make a long story short: editing Documents / and Scripts / loan ' / users ' because I can not alias it to/home: could take days or even more than one week in the end.

    What has anyone else done?  is it possible to use/Home as a normal directory?  I'm not even sure that is the apple app "stole as a namespace.

    I just tested this in the GUI and it works as expected here. I went to a ~/Home and copied file on the users, and it worked as expected. I have a feeling I can be misinterpreted what you want to do.

    It is just a bit beyond, issues of the support that we offer in these forums, because we support the public versions of Windows and their security.  I suggest you post this kind of question in the forums TechNet (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/categories), as this is where people from Active Directory and the server will be found.

    What is the best browser to use for a home user,

    It's really a matter of personal preference. He has Firefox, Chrome, Safari and many more. They have differences, but as long as you have a decent security program, it is really important that you use. Try a few and see what you think. They are easy to install and easy to remove. Most will import your Favorites during the installation.

    Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums as it is linked to the search server .pst files. Appropriate in instances of Windows Server.

  • Will be the files OE be saved if you save on XP - Home user accounts?

    Will be the files OE be saved if you save on XP - Home user accounts?

    I think not so much, and I wouldn't trust him anyway.

    I use this tool. During installation, you create a folder in a location of your choice for the backup of data to go. I keep mine in My Documents. Whenever my documents are stored outdoors, a copy of this record is as well. If something happens, if you reinstall the program, you can return OE the way it was by restoring the folder you created.

    This freeware tool backs up everything on OE in seconds. Ignore what is written in red. Which refers to another program.

  • Access connections 4.52 tries to authenticate until the user logs

    We have a large number of computers laptop R61 and R61i on our field. How they are to connect to the network is the Windows login screen appears, the user enters his user name and password, THEN access should try to access the network and connect.

    Now, we have a few computers that start at the login screen but before the user can enter their credentials, logins continues its merry way and starts logging in the wireless... Since many of our customers are looking at the keys instead of the screen, they don't see what happens and are QUITE frustrated that they have to keep re - typing their username and password.

    Of course, the network connection fails because all users logging into our wireless network must have a domain account.

    This is how it is currently set up and works on MOST laptops.

  • Windows 7 task scheduler - run if user logged in or not (DOES NOT WORK)

    I have an exe thread created in visual studio 2013 requiring a run setting. I want to run at 14:00 on every day when user connected power by the windows Task Scheduler. I followed the steps to plan an exe to run through the Task Scheduler windows below.

    Step 1: Created new task with the name "Billing Update", and I put it with option shown below run if user logged in or not.

    Step 2: Configure option trigger run exe on all day at 14:00.

    Step 3: Configure Action tab to select Billing.exe with arguments 2015.

    Step 4: I clicked the ok button, he asked me the username, password to run the exe if you know if the user is logged in or not. I did put with appropriate credentials and hit ok.

    When I connected to execution of the program, he has not worked.

    I checked with the conditions below to run the program.

    1. I ran the program with the Option start-> run only when the user logged on. (Output result program worked)

    2. I ran the Notepad.exe program with Option-> Run or not connected user parameter. (Output-no result has no program)

    2. I checked for required securities to assign users, and General groups-> change user or groups for this I gave full access to the D:\Billing.exe program using security (output-no result has no program).

    I googled out for the possible solution, but does not have a suitable, why Scheduler tasks done done do not run the program when I put the setting "Run if user logged in or not." Please advise me for the same thing with the detailed solution.

    When you select "Run if user logged in or not ', then the task runs as a background process. He won't let users interact with it. You can tell by scheduling notepad.exe. After that task scheduler called notepad.exe you can see using tasklist.exe or by looking at the Task Manager.

  • When a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet until the restart network card

    Hello! I found a problem with my system: when a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet, until restarted network card. Reinstall NIC driver did not help. Problem appears on a built-in adapter, in the motherboard and a separate PCI card too.  Same router via its web interface is not accessible. Windows cannot automatically fix this problem after trying to diagnose a problem with his problem Diagnostic tool. After the diagnosis in the DETAILS window, MORE tests, it displays a message like this "computer remote can not receive a connection via the Internet (HTTP) Service Port". "Unplugging" a corresponding Local network connection and then reconnect solves the problem immediately. Switching between users, when two of them are connected do not cause this problem. Important: the problem occurs in the account of the user who was logged on the system FIRST after the PC was on, when the user disconnected on newspapers of a SECOND. If the SECOND user is logged in and the FIRST user disconnects, SECOND can still access the internet. It depends only on the sequence of the user's record, not on the particular user name. And one more interesting fact: after each user registered on and outside just for once, the problem seems to disappear until the PC is turned off and turn it back on!

    System details:

    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-VLK
    CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 K
    RAM: 8 GB
    OS: Windows 7 x 64

    Hi, Mahesh,

    and thank you very much for your help! Update firmware driver and router LAN did not help me get rid of my problem, but greatly improved my experience of networking in general. Anti-virus software was not guilty, also, but! I found the "iControl" network software, installed as part of Sogiciel 'AI Suite II' (that came on the CD of motherboard ASUS driverssoftware), runnning and causing not only the problem mentioned above, but would also decrease upload speed up to 0.3 MB/s, when download passes to nearly 100 Mbps! Moreover, searching the Internet, I have found a lot of complaints about the behavior of this software, so that people watch you the occasional installation of this piece... sweet ;) As "iControl network" has been uninstalled (not only turned off in the settings of 'Ai Suite II'!), I'm totally happy with my system performance.

    Best regards
    Greg
