I have been having this trouble with my laptop (HP500) recently. Just after I log in to Windows XP, an error message is displayed which says:
To protect your computer, Windows has closed the following program.
Program: Userinit Logon Application
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
followed by a 'Close Message' button. When I click on it, or close the dialog, I get a 'send error message' dialog. Closing that just leaves my screen blank, with only the desktop background and no taskbar, or icons...just the desktop background.
I tried 'ctrl+alt+del' which brought up the Task Manager. I went to File>New Task(Run) which brought up the 'Create New Task' dialog. Typing 'desktop' in the 'Open' textbox, and clicking on 'OK' restores the desktop. There seems to be no other alternative.

Is my problem due to some kind of a virus, because I dont have an anti-virus as of yet. Can anyone help me out?

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Userinit Logon -- looks like there's a possibility that it's malware.

And, not to be your mother, but you should never connect to the Internet without an antivirus program. Get thee to Symantec and buy Norton Utilities and install it. There are other antivirus programs out there and Norton does not cover everything. But it covers a lot and people seem to have fewer compatibility problems with it versus than with McAfee. Plus the company is reputable and not fly by night
