Logon Process Initialization Failure
Posted by admin on Aug 20th, 2006
Anyone ever received this? I'm running Windows Vista Business, the full version, on a Compaq Presario V3000.My computer froze this morning, and when I tried to CTRLALTDEL and stop the frozen programs, I started getting this error:"Interactive logon process initialization has failed. Please consult the event log for more details."I tried to restart, but the only way I could was to hold down the power button. Now, when I startup (or try to, because I can't get it to startup all the way), it has a black screen and that error comes on again.Any ideas? I'm getting really sick of Vista doing crap like this.

Oh, BTW, I just tried starting up in safe mode, but I'm getting the same error. When I press OK in the error window, it disappears and then reappears. Can't get past it."Ed" wrote:

wrote Same thing as what? You have posted as a reply to someone else's thread and haven't quoted any of the previous message so there is no context.Many people use a newsreader to access what is actually a Usenet newsgroup, and only download the latest messages so the previous messages in a thread are not seen. That's why it's standard practice to quote at least a part of the message to which you reply. Better yet create a new thread with your issue and include all relevant information about it.

This exact description has occured to me. I put my laptop away last night and took it out this morning to boot up and got the same message:"Interactive logon process initialization has failed. Please consult the event log for more details."I hit "okay", but the message comes right backe eternally. Stuck in a loop, perhaps? At this point I've tried Start up Repair, repair your computer, all Safe Mode Start ups, system restore. Some things more than once. Nothing seems to be working. Right now I'm doing a Chkdsk and waiting. Does anyone have any other ideas? I have a 3 week old Dell Inspirion 1505 and am running Windows Home Premium."Ed" wrote:
