| MSGina is the user interface for logging into the system. It is a hidden system file and so make sure that its not there first. You can do that from the DOS prompt using:
C:\> cd windows (to speed up the search)
C:\WINDOWS> dir msgina.dll /s/b
Assuming D:\ is the CD drive, this is the copy command:
C:\>copy d:\msgina.dll c:\windows\system32\
or to copy from the lastgood folder:
C:\>copy C:\windows\lastgood\system32\msgina.dll C:\windows\system32\
I've seen this type of thing happen under three conditions:- 1. Virus Infection, 2. Using a 3rd party GINA and 3. When multiple OSes are installed (for example, you have a C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINNT).
Good luck,
