"The Logon User Interface DLL msgina.dll failed to load" error

[Guest]

My School has a set of 12 Toshiba Tablet PCs purchased from Toshiba. Toshiba
shipped them all with valid Windows keys but no back-up disks - persumably
becuase the Tablet PCs don't come with any CD-Drives. As luck would have it,
one of the computers failed to update to Win XP SP 2 and corrupted it's hard
drive. I was somewhat prepared, however and was able to Re-Ghost the
harddrive using Norton Ghost and a previous backup. THe computer now tries to
boot windows, but gets the error "The Logon User Interface DLL msgina.dll
failed to load" during boot. Oddly, this error occurs even if I try to boot
to safe mode (command prompt). I tried copying over a MSGINA.DLL file from
another machine, but the error still occurs. I can slave the hard drive to my
server to change files but am not certain what changes I could make to fix
the issue, does anyone have any ideas?

The image could be trying to use a corrupted or expired password. Safe Mode
may offer you an opportunity to log on the default "Administrator" account to
create a new profile.

Unfortunately, Booting to safe mode (even command prompt) generates the error
message as well. I can slave the drive to my server, but that only lets me
navigate the files manually. Is there a way to change the User Accounts
without being logged into windows?

You could try deleting all the NTuser.dat files in the profiles.
