re: SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED Win XP/2K Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 9:31 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mehere (1 messages posted) FYI Had a laptop come in with this. BSOD reboot cycle. recovery cds could boot and run winpe and read or recover deleted files. HDD scans (3 diff products) gave no hdd or file errors. Had to do repair with slipstreamed xpsp2 cd. It worked, removed novell client nwgina from login back to msgina but easily fixed. found eventvwr msg about last boot had run a chkdsk itself (or the owner) and found LOTS of errors and orphan files. So I assume error was due to damaged OS file not being repaired or read after chkdsk ran for the owner... Not hardware this time. BUT backing up their files to be sure to be sure... Also FYI XPsp3 has downloaded and is ready to install for this person. shouldnt be related, will finish the install.
