Hi, I am hoping someone can help me solve my blue screen problem. I spent the entire weekend working on getting rid of it, but it hasn't gone away. I am really frustrated and tired. Please help, if you can.
Here are the error messages:
MESSAGE 1 (appears during windows log on):
winlogon.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x77d4d1a7" referenced memory at "0x00000008". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
Clicking on OK or CANCEL causes WINDOWS to terminate. If I don't click on either OK or CANCEL I can manuever through Windows and even use Internet Explorer.
MESSAGE 2 (blue screen if OK or CANCEL is selected):
STOP: c000021a {fatal system error}
The windows logon process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x0000000 0x0000000) The system has been shut down.
I was able to back up my hard drive. I removed some photos, videos and temp files, checked for windows upgrades, ran disk clean up, and defrag. I am using McAfee and I also have Zone Alarm. I ran Ad-Aware and deleted some cookies. Updated Adobe Acrobat Reader. I ran chkdsk /r in Safe Mode and tried to run sfc /scannow. I've also noticed that the Event Viewer is identifying errors. I tried running memtest86 but couldn't because I can't unzip it.
I have never had a problem with the blue screen until last week after I had added several photos and viewed a homemade DVD containing videos and photos (with some errors)....my hard drive was getting full and hadn't been defragged in awhile.
Hi, Dunedin: I never got a response from the Hijack This forum so I kept searching the internet and found a free online help forum. It was risky business and I might have picked up a modified Vundo from possible ErrorSafe...My winlogon.exe error and blue screen are gone!!!! Not sure if you want me to identify the website...so I will wait to see if anyone asks for it.
I`m so pleased you got it all cleaned up, but sorry that you had to go somewhere else for help.
Not sure what the rules are about posting that other website, so maybe best to keep it quiet. Store it safe for future reference, but I hope you won`t need it again.

Hello KTArgh :smileyhappy:
I think you some sort of nasty, probably a trojan.
You need to go to the HijackThis forum here. Read how to use HijackThis and how to post a logfile
