Microsoft is aware of the problem and suggests that the installation of
any of several updates can cause the problem. However, they do not
provide a "fix" ... only a "Workaround". See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917556/en-us.

Folks,
I just got off the phone with MS and they recommended to me to remove this
update KB923191 for now and the issue should be fixed in SP3 that is planned
to be released in about 25 days.

Check the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify for keys that lead to
removed/non-existing or disabled services. In my case AtiExtEvent key
caused all the trouble, not any of the file versions in the hotfixes.

Unfortunately, this problem is *not* fixed in SP3. I'm still seeing
this issue on XP Home after successful SP3 installation.

Hi,

I see the same problem with SP3 as well, and the annoying thing is
there's no way to remove the KB that causes it, since it's now part of
the service pack.

Logging on to an operating system should be possible, no?

Cheers,
Alan
