When I start my computer I get the following errors:

winlogin.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed tostarted because SHELL32.dll
was not found. Reinstalling this application may fix this
problem.

User Interface Failure
The Logon User Interface Dll msgina.dll failed to load.
Contact your system administrator to replace the DLL, or
restore the original DLL.

Right now Im on my sister's computer. Can someone help me
fix this problem? The only thing I can do on my computer
is restart and see the error messages. HELP ME! thanks.

Expand the corrupted or missing files from the Windows XP CD-ROM:

1. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Shutdown and restart your computer.

3. Boot the CD-ROM, pressing R on the Welcome screen, or start the Recovery Console from the menu.

4. Select the Windows XP instance that you wish to access and enter the Administrator's password.

5. Type: expand <CD-ROM Drive Letter>\I386\comctl32.dl_ <Windows Drive Letter>\<Windows Folder>\System32

6. Type Exit.

7. Restart Windows XP.
