I have an xp pro machine that cannot login to the domain. "The net logon service does not work on this computer". I tried to start it manually in services and it does not work...it gives an error 10106.
suggestions?

Could not start the NetLogon Service on local computer
Error 10106: The requested service provider could not be
located and initialized. "

This often is a sign of a Winsock LSP problem.

1. Run the utility discussed in faq779-4625. Test again.
2. If no joy:

. Backup and delete the following registry keys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2
. Reboot
. Go to the network connections folder, right click the icon for your network connection, and select properties.
. Click install, choose "protocol", and click "add..."
. Click "Have Disk...", enter "\windows\inf", click OK
. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click OK
. When the process in complete, reboot

thank you...the application works fine. I run it, then it asks me to restart. After I restart, I can browse the net and the network like normal.
When I restart after that, it goes back to square one where
The net logon service failed to start.
PS-I can re-launch the application that you gave me and it will work, until i restart.
Please help.

It is a sign of some malware. Follow the cleanup steps discussed in faq608-4650

Substitute MsInfo32 for "WinMsd" in the above linked article.

This might be something LSPFix can handle:
