What program does it say in the header at the top of the box?

And does anything seem to trigger it?

userinit.exe-application error

 

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.

 

 

The above is what it reads right after it loads and the music sounds and I have to choose me as the user.

Scanned for malware lately?

 

Possible your user account got corrupted. If this just started, try a System Restore.

Click start>help & support

Click "Undo changes..."

Follow the prompts and pick latest date available before the problem started.

 

Personal files will be ok, but any Microsoft updates or other software originally installed after the date used for the restore will have to be reinstalled.

I wanted to try that, but I dont have a start key...no menu key..no icons....nothing..all I get is a my wallpaper.  It also happens in Safe Mode.....it says application failed....and when I hit ok, I get safe mode in all 4 corners but cant do anything else.

<>Boot normally and when you're at the 'desktop', even if it doesn't look/work correctly, press ctrl-alt-del to launch Task Manager. Click File>New Task (Run) on the toolbar.

 

Type in (exactly):

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

 

Follow the prompts.

You ROCK !  That worked.  Thank you so much.  I am up and running.  I wasnt sure about trying to explain the problem.  Seems like you had to be here to understand.  BUT YOU DID IT !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !
