The full error is "Interactive logon process initialization has failed. Please consult the event log for more details."
It, seemingly randomly, started happening this morning (Last night?) when I tried to pull my machine out of what I thought was sleep, perhaps I held down the power for too long and actually shut it down. I am unable to log in at all and it just keeps repeating that message. I tried to boot from my vista disk but all I get is the default "aurora borealis" background with no options. I also tried to boot to the last working settings (however the option is phrased) previously but I am unable to get to that menu now. I've had no problems up until now.
I've tried to find a solution to the problem from google and microsoft's website but have been unsuccessful.
I'm not sure what else I should include beyond the hardware installed.
