Windows XP login and then log out

What causes the Windows XP login and then log out issue.

The main thing that causes this issue is there is something wrong with userinit.exe. It is located in the c:\windows\system32 directory.

The issue can be cause by a virus/malware pointing to a seperate file or the file has been removed from the machine. You will need to get the file from another machine and copy it to the drive that is having the issue. I have heard of some people being able to do it from "recovery console" but I didn’t have such luck. If you are still having issues with the machine not loggin in propperly it is best if you boot with a Geek Squad MRI disk. Look in the services section and look for userint.exe. It will most likely be greyed out or "un-checked". Re-check it and save your settings. Reboot. You should now be able to log in.

Symbol MC50 Pocket PC wireless issues

Background

How to connect to a wireless access point on a Symbol MC50 Pocket PC

With this little device you will use the little wireless symbol in the bottom right hand portion of the screen. Click on it and select “Find WLANS”.  Click on the wirless network you want to connect to and follow the prompts. I’ve never been able to get these guys working on anything other then “Open Network”. The reason for it these devices don’t support AES or TKIP.

How to Add/Remove Proxy on a Symbol MC50 Pocket PC

To add or remove a proxy on the Symbol MC50 Go to the start menu, settings, Connections Tab, Click on Connections icon, Advance Tab, Select Networks, Click on either “Edit Button”, “Proxy Settings” tab. This will allow you to add or remove proxy server.

How to Find the wireless Status of Symbol MC50 Pocket PC

Click on the Wireless icon on the bottom right task bar. Click on the top most option “STATUS”. From this window you can see if the device is transmitting any information as well as, IP Address, Ping Command, Extra info and AP info.

What to do…

I recently worked on a Pocket PC by Symbol called the MC50. It comes with a wireless B networkcard. It network card stopped working. It is best to get the latest software from the Symbol website:  Symbol Website Download.

After updating the software make sure to reset the Symbol MC50 Pocket PC. You can do this by flipping over the device and hitting the reset button. This button is a small hole just under the battery eject switch on the right hand side.

Can't delete offline sync in Vista

How to remove and offline sybc in Vista

Although I love Windows vista there are some things in it that are much harder then they need to be. One of these things is removing “Offline Files”. You’d think that in order to remove the sync you’d go through either “Offline Files” or “Sync Center” in order to remove an old sync.  If you did think that way you’d be WRONG! Don’t worry… There are other people on the net that will tell you to:

Go to C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace
take owner ship of files
Delete
Reboot
blah, blah, blah...

Well.. I tried out pretty much all the items that people were suggesting. They all didn’t work. If they did work they only introduced more issues. So you are probably saying how the heck do you remove the offline sync then. Well here it is:

How to propperly remove offline sync in Vista

Go to Sync Center
Right click on the sync that you no longer want.
click BROWSE CONTENTS OF
You will notice the files and folders that still have offline sync.
They will still have that little green sync orb as part of the icon.
Right click the file or folder
Un-select "Always Available offline"

Voila! It’s no longer synced.

Hope this will save you a ton of time.
