Check to see if you have a GinaDLL value in the following registry key.
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
If we do have the value, what is the data for it?
Have you tried deleting or renaming Taskmgr.exe from %systemroot%\system32 to allow Windows File Protection to put it 
back to see what would happen?
