My laptop is locked and is stuck on c:windowssystem32. How do I get passed this?

No.
It could be a damaged lock cylinder, or the ignition switch.
You can disconnect the switch to see if the lock will move.

Make sure the shift key(s) is not stuck. Press down on both of them and observe the key; it should come back into place when your hand leaves the keyboard.

check your antivirus...try disabling the antivirus for a bit then try the USB device if it works then get a new antivirus

One of two things has happened. Hopefully this has happened: The thumb tab is not pulling the lock down far enough to release the plug. Take a very tiny straight slot screw driver (jewellers) or a very long pointed pocket knife, run it down the thumb tab on the outside until you have passed the locking lip. Then move it to one side. This will cause the lock to be pressed close enough to the plug that it will clear the locking lip and release the plug. Think of it as a shoe horn.

If this procedure is unsuccessful, it maybe the other problem. The plug slides in on 8 loose wires. They are only attached at the leading edge and as the plug is inserted it presses down these wires. The wires are loose at the other end and rarely develope an upward curl. This curl hooks on the plug and as you attempt to pull out it gets tighter and tighter. You should get a very thin but tough piece of packaging plastic and cut it just less than the width of the plug. Push it up between the contact side of the plug and the wires of the receptical, far enough to pass the end of the plug. Then pull the plug free. Always remember to press the thumb release as hard as possible to release the thumb lock.

You have to be quick enough when deleting the wgatray.exe :D otherwise it will start again even when you are in safe mode. So be quick enough ;)

Sounds like the lock solenoid is bad inside the door.

This is caused by two files that are corrupt on your system. If you can get to another XP computer and get the following two files from the windowssystem32 folder and copy them to the same location on your hard drive. The easiest way is to connect your hard drive to the other computer as a slave and copy them.

The files are: userinit.exe and wsaupdater.exe

You can pull the HD out of the problem computer and put it in place of the CD on the working one to copy these files.

Also if they both have floppy drives, make a dos boot disk on the and copy the two files to the floppy. Boot from this floppy and copy the files to the c:windowssystem32 folder.

Hope this helps

If you are running with Window XP then please see this and follow the instruction given by me:

Use IE 6.0 instead of IE 7.0

or use a new Web Browser such as Firefox or Google chrome, see this Tip posted by Me:

Google Chrome for All XP or Vista user

Let me know in either case if you have any issue remaining, dont vote till you get the solution.
