Howdy Gman,
I will do this again and see how it goes. This was the second thing I
experimented with when I realized I had a problem. So I did try it before I
wrote in the first time, but I still got the log in -- log off loop. But, I
will try again.
But before I do, my only question at this time, is that I wonder if I should
replace the userinit.exe file that is dated the same date as the SpyBot
trouble day, with one of the older files from either windows\system32 or
windows\service pack files\i386.
