I have XP pro. I installed a driver for my usb bluetooth device so i could update it. it asked me RESTART, i clicked no since i wasn't done working, then clicked restart later. i come back and it hadn't restarted. i click shut down, the little shut down menu closes, but it just stays going. i try to shut down from task manager and it's the same thing. i try to log off, switch user, everything, and nothing works. so i hold the power button and turn it off. when i restart, it goes normal then when it comes to the welcome screen, my icon and username aren't there. it's blank, just the background with no users. there isn't even an option to shut down or anything. i restarted in safe mode, and it was the same thing. if i try to hit enter or something, my system speaker beeps. i need this to work fast.What happens if you press CTRL+ALT+DEL at the user login screen?Nothing. If i hit Enter or Escape, i get a beep, but that's it.Did you try Last Known Good Configuration at the advanced startup screen?

Have you tried booting with the device disconnected?Both options, same result.Do you have your windows CD?no, i can't find it. i run xp pro, would a regular xp disc work? i think the issue is my logonui.exe, which i saw was running when i first tried to shut down. it might be messed up. i found a program that would fix it, but i don't know how to run it. it says "Run "logrecvr.exe" from either DOS or Windows". I obviously can't run it in windows, so how would i run it in dos? i just need to get in somehow and run this program or uninstall the driver i installed right before i had this problemTry this:
