Half way there... (SOLVED)

Well before we do that lets go check the owner and permissions on the System32\userinit.exe

Since admins login fine and then change them to standard and they they dont login then we need to make sure the permissions on that file are good.

I have attached what the permissions are for a default install of 7, owner is trusted installer.

Ok that appears to match up.

Ok so to load another user reg hive, open regedit.

Click on hkey_local_machine

Now click on file and then load hive. Browse to C:\Users and open the user folder of the user we need to check (You may need to have the options set to view hidden files at this point)

Under the user folder you will see NTUSER.DAT that is the hkey_current_user for that user account. Click on it and load it. It will ask for a name at this point, name it anything as it is just for you to know while it is loaded, so in this case name it Test

Now under hkey_local_machine you will see a folder called test, look under there to find the regkey we need to check. When you are all done click on the main test folder at the start again and then go to file an unload hive when you are all done :-)

almost 6 pm for me and time for dinner, I may not respond till morning, but I will try to before then if I can :-)

Night!

Loaded the hive for a standard user and nothing appears to be out of place.  :sad:

I am attaching a screen shot.

Thanks for your time this evening.

Cheers and Bon appetit !

I cant find anything wrong lol

turning UAC off fixed it for admins, which when I researched that error was the fix for admin users. No one mentioned it for standard users. We reset reg permissions, we set file permissions. Yet something is still failing and from the amount of results I found on this it looks like it is a common problem

I think something is screwed up with the UAC, user and groups and some of the core permissions settings and not a simple registry or file permissions since we set everyone to have full rights and that still doesnt fix it.

I think a repair install would be a good next step, this way windows gets reinstalled (Normally, it is really just doing an upgrade to itself) so that way your programs and files will be kept.

First you need Windows 7 with SP1 already on it, if you dont have one you can grab an iso here

Then just follow this :wink:

At least this way the core items will get replaced including permissions.
