Dear advisor,

I have a very BIG problem in my Win 2000 Server (Ver 5.00.2195)

After deleting/rename 2 suspicious files in C:\ ARCLDR.exe and ARCSETUP.exe
When restart this message appear :

USERINIT.EXE - Entry Point Not Found
——————————————–
The procedure entry point DeactivateActCtx
could not be located in the DLL Kernel32.dll

Now, the Win2000 still have User Login, User can access this server via Network.
But, nothing appear. Only Desktop Green Screen (without Icon and Start Menu/Start Bar).
Safe Mode is same. Recently I use PCMedia Anti Virus PCMAV (since there many local virus)
Shutdowner is Auto Shutdown auto turn off.

I am desperate….
Pleaseeeeeee help!


THE LAST CONDITION IS :

- Message: USERINIT.EXE Entry Point Not Found
DeactivateActCtx cannot found in Kernel32.dll

- Green blank desktop

- Task Manager (with : Ctrl alt del)
EXPLORER.EXE

- The ICONS and STARTMENU appear (It shows all!)

- Shutting Down the PC makes :

Dump of Phisical Memory
STOP : 0X0000009F, …
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Bythe way, regarding the Microsoft K.Base,
I found 3 Userinit.exe.
Which one is the right one?

And .. REGEDIT :

HKLM\software\micrososft\winNT\Current ver\winlogon\

2 entries and its values:
- USERINIT (NO DOT) - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\USERINIT.EXE,
- USERINIT. (WITH DOT) - USERINIT.EXE

thanks for help.

regards,
Lee
