Here the same scenario like yours:

Another option would be to delete the GinaDLL from the registry. This can be
accomplished from a parallel installation of XP, or using the BartPE
Bootable CD.

How to edit the registry offline using BartPE boot CD ?:

And here is how you can delete the GinaDLL entry from the registry.

Hi Nosirrah,
Can you tell us what Operating system you are using and are you able to
access the BIOS?
You can Disbale the Adapter in the BIOS and see if you will be able to login.
As I said in my previous post if you hooked the HDD to another machine as
Slave and Delete the Folder for the Adapter manually then Put it back again
as Master and see if you can boot up.
Or Bart PE:

Thank, Nass - gives me a clue, but no solution. Firstly, I can't get past
the blockage by loading 'last known good config'. The blocking message is,
that the system "cannot find" rtlGina2.dll, from which I infer that my
wireless adapter is demanding it, and the spyware update process has deleted
it. So, in fact, we're looking to insert a .dll, not delete it??Does that
sound right?

The Knox script is one of the two fixes that I have; but which I cannot get
applied to the requisite OS: would I infer correctly also that I wouldn't be
able to either re-run the adapter installation, or alternatively uninstall it
from an "outside" OS either? Or, for that matter, reconfigure the loading of
processes so that the OS doesn't even try to run the adapter at boot??

TIA

Phil

Installation of an update of a highly reputable anti-spyware programme has
blown out my XP (SP3) at the logon stage with the rtlGina2.dll fault,
(otherwise well documented).
In addition startup in safe mode hangs at mup.sys and recovery console won't
take my password.
I have available the two possible 'fixes' but apparently no suitable access
to run them so they repair the original OS.
I have also: Vista on HDD1; and a (temporary, I hope) parallel XP
installation on HDD0.

Have I ANY simpler option tham creating a Bart PE disc (or the total
reinstallation of apps, etc on the parallel XP or the Vista), please, anyone??

I fear this will be a two-letter answer :>(

Can you log using Last Good known Configuration?
If you try the Fix below from Doug:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/fix_xp_logon.htm
<Q>
Then the NetGear software is telling the system to use RTLGina2.dll as its
logon DLL, rather than the default MSGINA.DLL that ships with the OS. Use of
a 3rd party GINA (Graphical Identification and Authentication) will disable
Fast User switching and the Welcome Screen.

I don't know how tightly bound Netgear's software is to the use of their
custom GINA. You can try setting the system back to use the Default GINA
after the NetGear software is installed and see how it behaves.

If you can't then you need to hook this HDD to another machine as slave and
perform the instructions of deleting the Dll.
