You write "I can no longer get to the boot screen" and "In safe mode,

you try. Remember - we cannot see your screen! So: - What exactly
happens when you attempt to boot normally? - What happens when you
attempt to uninstall things in Safe Mode? - Have you tried System
Restore?

When I boot, I get a bluescreen with the 0xc000021a error right before
the login screen is to come up.

When I try to uninstall in Safe Mode it won't let me. It says that
Windows Install Process will not run in safe mode.

I got things back to normal though. VMWare has their own version of
msgina.dll, called vmgina.dll. I did some renaming and copying so that
msgina would be used. Then rebooted and all was back to normal. I
did a full uninstall of VMWare Server 2. I think Server 2 does not
like all the security we are required to have on our laptops at work so
it didn't get things setup right or something (although it said
successful login).

Anyway, it is fixed now. Thanks.
