I'm getting this message (subject) when I try to start my HP laptop
running Windows XP Home (with SP3). The message indicates that
msgina.dll is missing or corrupted.
Last known good configuration does not solve the problem and the safe
mode also needs the dll.
I can load the system CD and access the repair console. I found a
description of how to use the repair console to reload a different dll
and tried that substituting my dll.
I'm using instructions intended for recovering kernal32.dll, but I
thought it would work if I just replaced kernal.dll with msgina.dll.
I've renamed msgina.dll to msgina.old.
I used map to confirm the drive name (d).
At C:\windows\system32: I tried "expand d:\i386\msgina.dll_ " Result:
The system cannot find the file or directory specified. I tried
"expand d:\msgina.dll_ and got the same.
Of course I don't know what I'm doing.
If anyone understands what I am talking about and can lead me from
where I am in the recovery console to the promise land, I'd be
eternally grateful.
