logon screen reapears after loging in

[rtshort]

I had a virus(win32.funlove.4099) this morning on all of our machines (6). I downloaded the cleaner for it, unplugged all of the machines from the network and cleaned the virus off of all of them. On the WinNT Server 4.0, I had to use the NTFSDOS Program to clean it, but got it done.

When I booted the NT Server back up and got to the login screen, I hit ctl+alt+del and entered the password. It acted like it was logging on, but just before the icons and taskbar come up, the logon screen reappeared.

I have tried everyones username and password, and the same thing happens every time. I guess the virus messed something up but I can't figure it out.

The server is sitting with the logon screen and we are accessing the information on it, but still can't logon.

ANY ideas. PLEASE
Every day above ground is a GOOD DAY!!!

There's a few causes for this, so here they are..as always, keep ERD's up-to-date, and you should be using the local Administrator login for recovery..or a known local account with admin rights. Do not try to use a domain admin account for this.

1) If you can connect to the server's registry from a different machine, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment

If the right hand pane contains a Value Name of <No Name>, delete the Value Name.

Delete any obviously invalid entry, such as a type REG_DWORD value with string data.

Shutdown and restart Windows NT.

2) This is related to screensavers, but you can try it anyway - it's easy. When the logon screen reappears after trying the first time, do this in the exact order:
1. Clear the Username box.

2. Clear the Domain Name box.

3. Clear the Password box.

4. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE.

5. Log on.


let me know if one of these works - if not. There's more you can do, but MUCH more work..let me know, and i'll post the more advanced stuff, too.

good luck!

You can use this program to remove the virus, I dont know how effective it may me see as you already got rid of most of it...

Had a long 4th holiday. Ended up formating and reloading. I did find a util to hack and change the password, but it still brought me back to the logon screen.

Thanks for the help guys. Every day above ground is a GOOD DAY!!!
