Hi, my daughters laptop has just started to display an error on boot up. She's using xp home sp2, after windows has loaded, you get a microsoft error box stating that " winlogin32.exe has encounted a problem and needs to close..... ect. Any idea's how to fix this?
Any help welcome.

does the laptop give any reason for the problem ?

it the laptop networked at all ?
 
Hi Donkey, thanks for replying.
No, the laptop is not networked.
All was fine up until about a week ago.
I've run adaware/ spybot and avg antivirus, these reported no problem.
It seems to run ok.
Just can't understand why it shows this error everytime it boots up.
 
if you don't use any kind of networking on the laptop, somehow networking has become enabled

just remove all network adators & protocols (TCP/IP)

Edit: remove them from <Control Panel>
 
Cheers donkey, i've looked in control panel, network connections, these are disabled. Do you mean in device manager?
Sorry for simpleton question, but just want to make sure i'm not going to make matters worse. :doh:
 
yeah, you could disable any NIC's visible in device manager

BTW: any yellow triangles visible in device manager

Has this problem been solved?

If not, let me add my two cents worth :D Check the Windows Event Viewer for application and system errors.

Control Panel > Performance & Maintanence > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer
