Re: renamed RtlGina.dll and won't start

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Ramesh:
After I sent the post about removing the extra Line I found a Post from
10/17/04 by nutcase about removing the extra line using the startup and
recovery options on My computer-properties-advanced and removed the extra
line. Now I still get two choices but one now says Windows default.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

How can I get rid of the choice on bootup so it goes directly to WinXP ?

Thanks for your help.
I tried to use the Bart porgram but gave up when it warned me that an OEM
disk could cause problems...
So I reinstalled XP to my second partition and got it started, ininstalled
the problem Netgear WG111 adapter rather that working within the registry,
which has fixed most of my issues.
I now have two copies of XP in the startup options. I have renamed the
second copy to Windows.old. How do I remove the second copy on the startup
page so that windows will not stop here when starting?

Can I now delete the "new" second copy of Windows.old from my D partition?

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.

Jeff,
Thanks for the reply. I did install a Netgear WG111v2 USB adapter, so that
explains the RtlGina.dll file. At least its not a virus.
BUT,
I still need to get Windows XP started to uninstall the Gina file, and can't
get past the "User interface Failure" msg and black screen on startup. I
need the exact command to rename the file from Rtlgina.old back to
Rtlgina.dll from the command prompt in Recovery Console.
Thanks
