Help finding a file on XP

[Jabari]

On windows XP you can change the login screen to show something else. Well I tried that and now when I boot up my splash screen comes on and then after it loads my screen goes black. You can't see anything nowhere to put your password in at.This is what I've tried so far I thought it might be a video problem so I uninstalled and reinstalled the video card rebooted nothing still same so this time I went into safe mode and went to user accounts and disabled the login screen but that didn't work either SO I thought if there was a file that houses the login files I would try and see if reseting it would work. our if you have any ideas that might work

[gerbil]

In Safe Mode try going to the login app you loaded [under program files] and start the uninstaller, if it exists. You login will have registry entries to start it running, so just deleting stuff will not work. You would just end up with no login screen at all.
Sorta like now... :)
Okay, in Safe Mode with Networking:
==download hijackthis: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download5554.html
-copy it to a new FOLDER placed either alongside your program files or on your desktop and then... rename hijackthis.exe to imabunny.exe
-in that folder start HijackThis by dclicking the .exe; now close ALL other applications and any open windows including the explorer window containing HijackThis.
-click the Scan and Save a Logfile button. Post the log here.
We're a bit blind as to what you have... what exactly is your login app? They differ widely as to how they work.
Pretty much what I advised in the other thread of yours. You don't help us, we can't help you.

Jabari.... I am not really interested enough to wring information out of you... I did also ask, twice now, for the name of the login application that you loaded. Can't do much without it.
Meanwhile, fix these entries in your registry: to do that...
Start hijackthis, -select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.
