Suspect DLL files missing.

[Guest]

Hi, my Win XP Pro is currently using a classic welcome screen instead of the
blue XP one. When I tried to change it to XP style in user accounts, i get
this error messgae. Dynamic Link Library(DLL) Initialization routine failed.
I can check the 2 boxes but it won't save which means when i click user
account again the 2 boxes stay unchecked and the error is still ocurring.

Thanks in advance. Any comments is appreciated.

Hi Daniel,

This may be due to the GinaDLL registry value, which is preventing the
Welcome Screen from being displayed. See if this helps:

Type REGEDIT in Start/Run
Navigate to the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Backup the registry key by exporting it.
In the right pane, right-click GinaDLL, and then click Delete.
(You need to remove the whole value, not just it's data value)
Close Registry Editor

Automate the above with this REG file:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/ginadll.reg

No idea, Daniel. Perhaps SFC may help:

Daniel,

From the error message you mentioned, it sounds to me that a core system DLL
is missing, and to restore the missing DLLs SFC command can be used. Follow
this:

Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM in the drive.
Click Start/Run and type CMD
Type "SFC /Scannow" without quotes, and press Enter

If you've installed SP1 or SP2 after installing XP, you need to point to the
ServicePackFiles folder located in the Windows folder. (
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles )

SFC will take more time to complete. Restart Windows and try enabling
Welcome Screen again.
