Re: msgina.dll error after updates - won't boot

It's funny because after I sent you that post reply, when I rebooted, I got
the same thing. Only I never got a Welcome Screen. The screen stayed black
and eventually a popup occurred telling me about msgina.dll.
When I rebooted in Safe Mode, I immediately open EVENTVWR.MSC to see what
the error was ... and surprise. The error actually came from lsass.exe.
I checked the rest of the system, using chkntfs c:, chkdsk c:, as well as
poking around in the registry and nothing.
So I took the chance and rebooted normally. Everything came up fine.
This seem to occur after a shutdown whereby Windows told me I had updates to
perform and the updates would be installed prior to complete shutdown.
After the system updated, shutdown (I didn't have the option to Restart),
the system wouldn't come up until I went thru what I mentioned above.
If you can reboot in Safe Mode Command Prompt ... the safest method since
the GUI interface does not come into place ... you can run a chkdsk /f c:
(you may wish to also try chkdsk /f /r c: from time-to-time for bad block
checking as well - just found this out about bad clusters).

Can you boot into either of the Safe Mode or Safe Mode Command Prompt?
Somehow, something has modified you
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon
key.
Do you have any special Boot options - modified boot screen (Windows XP
scrolling bar screen) or modified Windows Welcome Screen?

I have no special boot options.
I haven't tried Safe Mode or Safe Mode Command Prompt. I have tried the
option that is supposed to revert back to the most recent working
configuration. I showed only one profile, and whne I tried it, it failed
to
boot and gave the same error messages.
I am gradually getting down to wher I think I may be able to use the
original installation CD to enter a recovery console and ask to repair the
installation, and see where that gets me. Or, I am close to being able to
write to the Win2k NTSF drive with my dual booted Linux installation and
go
in and replace the msgina.dll with a new one, h oping that maybe it
somehow
was corrupted. There appears to be a msgina.dll in both the system32 and
system32\dllcache folders with the same size (and maybe same timestamp,
but
not sure on that) as the replacement sent to me by somebody with a working
installation. So, maybe that's not the problem! My temp folder is not
encrypted, so the MS Knowledge Base article that says that's the problem
doesn't seem relevant,
Thanks! I'm slowly getting down to trying the installation disk recovery
mode, but will try the Safe modes as you suggest first.
