Hello,

Can anyone help me please! I have mistakenly changed the file
CSGina.dll and now cannot boot up. I have tried getting in to Saf
Mode
but unable to. I get a error message "The Logon User Interface DLL
CSGina.dll has failed to load" How can I get back in and change the
file name?Is it possible to get into Dos mode directly without fully
booting up? If so, how should I go about changing the CSGina.dll file
name?

Hope there is an answer to this problem.

Thanks in advance anyways.

Hi again,

Thanks for the above info, but the problem is when I boot up I can no
get even as far as the desktop screen. Infact, I am shut out completel
and just get a message "The Logon User Interface DLL CSGina.dll ha
failed to load - restart" I have no GUI at all! (apart from the erro
message). Is it possible to acess Dos during bootup so I can type i
the CSGina.dll file name correctly? I can not even start in safe mod
by pessing the F5 key

Try from Safe Mode Command Prompt. If that does not help, load Recovery Console and type these commands:

CD SYSTEM32
COPY CSGina.dll OldCSGina.dll
COPY MSGina.dll CSGina.dll
(overwrite if prompted)

Exit Recovery Console, and see if you're able to logon to your profile.
