here is the problem....XP almost starts fine, but then a message pops up:
"userinit.exe- Application error"
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005) Click on OK to terminate the application"
so i googled the problem a few people recommended this:
Restore Winlogon\Userinit
Line #263 right side
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
so when i went into the regedit the userinit already read C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,
i went into system32 and found no wsaupdater.exe so this next step did not work
Place your XP CD in and navigate to the Recovery Console.
Change the C:\Windows prompt to: C:\Windows\System32 and copy userinit.exe to wsaupdater.exe
Reboot into Safe Mode and modify:
change userinit in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon from wsaupdater.exe, to userinit.exe,
so i downloaded hijack this and these are my logs:

no idea what to do now all i know is its from a virus, i downloaded AVG it did a full scan them updated then asked for a restart thats when the error started to happen, i went into msconfig to do a system restore but their is nothing at all to restore to not even before i installed AVG
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks in advanced.
I am no virus expert, and wil not be able to look at your HJT file, but there are some good experts around here on this board that will be able to look at that and tell you if you have a virus.
As for the errors you get, I can only say that I had similar situation, with black screen and bad winlogon.exe image and a lot of other bad image stuff, and this happened twice to me already, right after a certain update from M$. Therefore, I suspect not a virus, but some thing in the update causing this, and also with AVG.
The only solution that helped me, was to do a repair install from the windows xp install cd, the second "R" option.
