1. Boot to Recovery Console.

2 . type the following commands
cd system32 [enter]

ren winlogon.exe winlogon.old
ren msgina.dll msgina.old
ren shell32.dll shell32.old
ren shlwapi.dll shlwapi.old

cd.. [enter]
cd servicepackfiles\i386 [enter]
copy MSGINA.DLL c:\windows\system32
copy SHELL32.DLL c:\windows\system32
copy WINLOGON.EXE c:\windows\system32
copy shlwapi.dll c:\windows\system32

if not there, expand from the cd

3 Type EXIT and hit enter
 
Additionally, Ursula, you need to make sure you boot off the CD. You
should access your BIOS setup *before* the PC attempts to boot off your
hard drive, then configure it to boot off the CD, then you should be
fine. See http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm for
how to do this.

At this point, you should be able to use the Recovery Console from your
installation CD.

(Do you have an installation CD? Or is it a different type of "WinXP
CD"?)

1. Boot to Recovery Console.

2 . type the following commands
cd system32 [enter]

ren winlogon.exe winlogon.old
ren msgina.dll msgina.old
ren shell32.dll shell32.old
ren shlwapi.dll shlwapi.old

cd.. [enter]
cd servicepackfiles\i386 [enter]

I'm pretty sure that article takes you through a process similar (if not
identical) to the one in my earlier post.

By the way, the command you were having a problem with earlier --is REN
(R-E-N) *not* REM (R-E-M). In a batch file, "REM" means "Remark" and the
command processor ignores everything which follows until the next [ENTER]
character appears. REN (R-E-N) is short for RENAME, which you can type all
the way out, if you wish.

Hope this helps.

You are both too kind to help me out, thanks a lot!!!
I tried the article too, no help. I wrote the ren thing right in the console
and the names are changed. Puter couldn't find the msgina.dll but the others.
then I tried to go in from windows, but without the proper msgina no way. so
I tried to go to D:\ but puter went to D and right back to C:\. Tried every
letter to see, if its there (CD-ROM) but it told me no disk to find there (it
WAS in the player).
How can I find the CD on console?
Thanks again
Ursula
