Thanks, a ton, Prabhakar Shettigar. You are certainly a life saver for me.

I COULD HUG YOU! Thanks so much, I had no idea. This ironically occurred after a power failure, thus I attributed the problem to a corrupt user profile. It so happens I made this (dumb) change before the power failure. Adding Interactive and Authenticated Users via the local admin account worked immediately.

Good man.

Prab, How do you go about repairing this status, when the Administrator log in does the same thing. It went down when the administrator was logged in via remote desktop.... and TS.

All workstations can access the server fine, it is only a problem at the server console to log-in, or for any and all users via Remote Desktop, including the administrator via both access methods.

The Server is Windows 2003 Enterprise

Thank you very, very much. John (running blind)

The answer to this one may be quite simple: I have an old PC running Win2k Pro. I ran a ultra deep scan over the weekend- found three worms and deleted them. reconnected the cat5e to connect to the web. got the following msg: access to specific drives, paths or files denied when clicking on IE.

Then I rebooted and got the same message on rundll.exe and could not boot. REbooted into safe mode, checked the attributes for rundll in systems32 folder. not encrypted.

Now what is going on? What steps are needed to restore the system?

Thanks!
