VW CEO Flubs Interview With Apology Tour Off to Rocky Start BusinessWeek
VW CEO Flubs Interview With Apology Tour Off to Rocky Start BusinessWeek
- VW CEO: U.S. Is a Core Market
- Mueller says German carmaker `didnt lie to U.S. regulators
- VWs Mueller faces meetings Wednesday with EPA and lawmakers
Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Officer Matthias Mueller is struggling to find the right tone on his first official U.S. visit, where he?s under pressure to placate lawmakers and regulators to emerge from the emissions-cheating scandal.
In an interview with National Public Radio at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Mueller said the German carmaker ?didn?t lie? to regulators when first asked about irregularities between test and real-life emissions in its diesel cars.
The issue, related to rigging engines to cheat on emissions tests, was instead caused by ?a technical problem? and stemmed from a misinterpretation of U.S. law, the CEO said, appearing to downplay the company?s role in actively deceiving regulators. He then questioned the reporter?s assertion that Americans believe there are ethical issues within the company: ?I cannot understand why you say that.?
The German carmaker asked for a second chance after the public radio network aired the comments, which were made at a VW event Sunday evening, on its ?Morning Edition? program, a staple of the commute for many U.S. professionals. Mueller apologized in the follow-up interview on Monday, citing noisy surroundings in the first conversation.
?We fully accept the violation,? he said. ?There is no doubt about it,? and the company is doing its ?utmost? to resolve the issue.
Opera Ball
The to-and-fro is indicative of Volkswagen?s response to the scandal, which is being steered largely by company veterans while customers have had to wait as the carmaker figures out what to do with the affected vehicles. The public-relations gaffe was the latest in a series by Mueller, who has come under criticism for waiting nearly four months to meet U.S. regulators while at times giving the impression that the crisis wasn?t his top priority.
The 62-year-old Volkswagen veteran, who previously ran the Porsche sports car brand, was photographed with a bottle of champagne at the Leipzig Opera Ball shortly after he took over as CEO in the wake of the scandal. He then turned up a few weeks later smiling on the sidelines of a car race in Bahrain. He also cut short his appearance on Volkswagen?s third-quarter earnings call to join German Chancellor Angela Merkel on a trade trip to China.
Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen, who is helping to lead a multistate investigation into the automaker, called Mueller?s comments "disturbing" and criticized Volkswagen for not cooperating with the probe.
"In an apparent moment of candor in Detroit, we now learn that the company?s newly appointed and most senior leader doesn?t believe Volkswagen lied, which is undisputable, and cannot say when it plans to deliver its solution to a problem that is affecting millions of Americans, which is unacceptable," Jepsen said in a statement.
Causing Stir
It?s not the first time Mueller has caused a stir with media comments. Last year he suggested to a group of journalists in Stuttgart, Germany, that he was too old to succeed then-CEO Martin Winterkorn. He later said he?d been misunderstood. Then during Porsche?s annual earnings press conference he let slip plans for an all-electric vehicle. Though he evaded follow-up questions, the unit showed the car months later at the Frankfurt motor show.
Volkswagen defended Mueller, saying this week?s comments were a misunderstanding stemming from the chaotic environment at the Detroit event.
?This was a very extreme situation in which this interview took place,? spokesman Claus-Peter Tiemann said by phone. ?Mueller was standing in a crowd of journalists with questions being shouted at him in different languages. One question obviously was misinterpreted, taken out of context maybe, so the interview was redone.?
With meetings looming Wednesday in Washington D.C. with lawmakers and Environmental Protection Agency head Gina McCarthy, Mueller must now convince authorities that he?s taking them seriously and their concerns are being addressed, said Stefan Bratzel, director of the Center of Automotive Management at the University of Applied Sciences in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany.
?Not all has gone smoothly since he took the scepter, especially with the U.S. authorities,? Bratzel said. ?It?s important to admit that there actually were untruthful answers, that there was deception.?
?Night and Day?
Volkswagen obfuscated for nearly a year before admitting to regulators that it had installed software to bypass pollution tests in its diesel cars, the EPA said in September. Its relations with the agency have been strained since then, and there?s still no confirmed solution for how to fix about 480,000 cars with 2-liter diesel engines in the U.S.
Mueller has cultivated a relaxed image in Germany, a stark departure from the stern presence of his predecessor. In October, he encouraged Volkswagen employees to be more open and cooperative, with the goal of making the company ?more fun to work for.?
The company might be able to fix about 430,000 of the vehicles by adding a newly-developed component to neutralize the smog-inducing nitrogen oxides in the emissions, Mueller said on Sunday. Still, the actual number could vary and depends on the EPA?s approval, he said.
?We have worked night and day to find solutions. Not only technical solutions,? Mueller said in the followup interview with NPR. ?It?s a lot of work for the lawyers and also for the press department.?

Windows Logs on and Logs off immediately
Windows Logs on and Logs off immediately
Issue: My desktop logs off immediately after logging on
"Windows keeps logging me off.."
"As soon as I log in, it logs off automatically"
"After turning the computer on I reach the screen where I click my account and type my password, and then it loads settings, and then BAM it saves settings and logs off right away."
This is a Registry issue which may be caused by a virus or an incorrect changes by a software or by yourself.When you login windows tries to find the registry keys required and if it does not find it logs off immediately.
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon
RESOLUTION to Fix Log on and Log off immediately issue
Method 1:
Navigate to the following registry key and changes the value of Shell and Userinit as mentioned below.
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon
Shell = explorer.exe
Userinit=X:windowssystem32userinit.exe
NOTE: These files may also be deleted by spywares. You may need to extract them using Windows CD or from another computer.
Steps for rectifying this Log on and Log off immediately problem:
- Log on to a networked computer or any other computer in your home connected to the same network.
- Open Registry and Point your cursor to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
- Select File > Connect Remote Registry.
Windows Log on and Log off immediately - Type computer name (infected computer)

Userinit = x:windowssystem32userinit.exe
![]() |
Windows Log on and Log off immediately |
If there is a key named "OldUserinit", delete the "Userinit" key and rename the "OldUserinit" key to "Userinit".
Method 2:
For Windows XP - Infected with Wsaupdater.exe virus
Wsaupdater.exe is spyware that changes Userinit.exe, to Wsaupdater.exe in the registry and thats why windows logs off immediately after logging in.When you scan the computer with Ad-Aware by Lavasost it removes the Wsaupdater.exe file from the computer, but it cannot change the registry subkey back to Userinit.exe,. The registry subkey that is changed is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon
Value: Userinit
Data: C:WindowsSystem32Wsaupdater.exe
Change the data value to C:WindowsSystem32Userinit.exe,.
Note- The comma following the file path information is required.
Use the Recovery Console to copy Userinit.exe to Wsaupdater.exe to allow logon capability to be restored and to let you manually correct the registry data. To do this, follow these steps:
- At the Recovery Console command prompt, type cd system32, and then press ENTER.
- Type copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe, and then press ENTER.
- Type exit, and then press ENTER.
Modify the registry
Open Registry Editor and go to the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon
.

Replace wsaupdater.exe with userinit.exe, (make sure to include the comma, as shown), and then click OK.
Restart your computer.
Delete the Wsaupdater.exe file.
Method 3:
IF YOU CANNOT GET THE COPY USERINIT.EXE WSAUPDATER.EXE TO WORK
1) Use the XP Install disk and go into the Recovery Console to open Command prompt from repair your computer option that comes when pressing F8 during startup in windows Vista and above.
2) "We need to replace the software hive with a previous good backup temporarily to stop logging off immediately ."
a.) type cd system32config enter
b.) type ren software software.old enter
This renames the current software hive to software.old
c.) type copy C:windows epairsoftware enter
It should say "1 file(s) copied"
d.) Type exit to quit Recovery Console and restart.
3) Hit F8 before Windows starts to enter Safe Mode - You should hopefully be able to log in now
4) Now we need to Fix the registry
a.) Start-->Run--> type regedit, enter
b.) Select/Highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
c.) Click File-->Load Hive
d.) Find where you saved the software.old file (C:windowssystem32configsoftware.old)
e.) Just name it test
f.) Navigate to testsoftwaremicrosoftwindows ntcurrentversionwinlogon
g.) Look for the Userinit field
h.) it may have blank or no value data.
- Double click on the key and type C:windowssystem32userinit.exe,
Note: if anything differs repeat step 5 with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsoftwaremicrosoftwindows ntcurrentversionwinlogon
5) Restart and log back into Recovery Console
7) Restore the original hive now
a.) type cd system32config enter
b.) type del software enter
c.) type ren software.old software enter
d.) type exit enter
8) Log back into Windows normally. This will work for sure!. You computer will not log off immediately now.
Method 4:
If the Userinit value is correct and all the above steps does not help and you are still logged off immediately after log in then it could be an issue with the user profile or registry associated with user profile too.Use the following steps to fix this issue.
- Restart the computer and login as a Local Admin or another domain user.
- Rename: C:Users%username%
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionProfileListS-X-X-XX
(S-X-X-XX is the format of profile identifier or the security identifier of a user so Look through each Profile key under this reg key and view the ProfileImagePath value to find which key is related to which user).
4. Delete the profile key of the user who has problem logging in.
Logout and login as the original user who has login issue and it will create a new profile for him.
If you do not delete the registry key it will continually give a temporary profile to that user infinitely or until you rename their C:Users%username% folder back.
Try logging in again and it should work fine.

Take Care of Yourself On Off the Road
Take Care of Yourself On Off the Road
It?s important to take care of yourself while you?re on the road. Whether you?re making a long haul or a short haul, there are things you can do to keep your health and your sanity. Take a few breaks on the road and get out of the truck. Go for a brisk walk to get blood moving and get some fresh air. You?ll feel rejuvenated. It?s important to keep your body fit, even if your work doesn?t require it. Try to exercise a few times per week (even lightly). By staying fit you can actually combat exhaustion and tiredness?two things you never want to suffer from while on the road. Instead of eating fast food or greasy foods, stick to healthy, energizing foods. A good diet is important for overall health but also helps keep your energy level up while on the road in your truck seat. Try to pack a few fruits and vegetables, or stop at a local grocery store on one of your stops to pick up some fresh food items for snacks and skip the potato chips.
