Re: The logon user file msgina.dll file is missing. restore it.

Yet, when you do a DIR command in the Windows\System32 folder, the MSGINA.DLL file isn't there?

Is this from the I386 folder on your hard disk or the Windows XP CD?

Did your system come with XP Pre-installed? Or did you install it yourself and have the CD?

If it came preinstalled, there should be an I386 folder on the hard drive, in the root directory of the C: drive (usually). At the C:\Windows> prompt type CD \I386. Do a DIR command here for MSGINA.DL* You should find MSGINA.DL_

If so, (hope this works in Recovery Console) type EXPAND -R MSGINA.DL_ C:\Windows\System32\MSGINA.DLL

If you installed XP yourself, do the same, but use the CD drive as the reference.

At the C:\Windows> prompt type X: where X is the letter of your CD-ROM drive. Then CD \I386 and follow the rest from above.

Ok, DIR in Recovery Console may not support the /S or /A parameters.

At the C:\Windows> prompt type in CD System32\DLLCACHE Then do a DIR MSGINA.DLL Does the file exist? If so enter

COPY MSGINA.DLL C:\Windows\System32

What happens when you do the DIR command?

DIR MSGINA.DLL /S /A

Do this from the C:\Windows> prompt

For the copy command the system says that "file not found"
for dir command it says "wrong parameters"

That's what its supposed to do. At the C:\Windows> prompt, type in

CD SYSTEM32
COPY dllcache\MSGINA.DLL

Then reboot. If it says file not found, type

CD \WINDOWS
DIR MSGINA.DLL /S /A

Note the location of any copy/copies it finds, and the date on the file. Copy the newest one from its folder to the Windows\System32 folder using the COPY command.

During safe mode the system is saying:
"The logon user interface DLL msgina.dll file is missing. Restore it"

When I start the pc on repair mode RC using the cd xp, the system asks for
administrator password. I do not have an administrator password. I use my
log
in name to do the administrative work and the system never asked for
administrator or administrative password when I installed XP

How do I find the administrative password?

Thank you


Just hit enter and it will continue

Bobby
