windows wont load!! "c:\windows\system32\samlib.dll is not a valid image"

Hey allHey all

I get this crazy message just after Windows XP should
have loaded saying that:
"application or DLL c:\windows\system32\samlib.dll is not
a valid Windows image. Please check against the
installation diskette". And then once I click OK all I am
left with is a black screen. I have tried to fix this
through the troubleshooting guides but have got nowhere.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Tony

Boot using the install CD and use its Repair function. Might work.
