This is my first posting and it concerns W2K, I'm not sure if you support it but here goes. I have a W2K machine running SP4 getting the following error.
"User Interface Failure. The logon user Interface DLL msgina.dll failed to load. Contact your System Admin to replace the DLL, or restore the original DLL."
The Windows logon screen will not come up, I just get a blank blue screen. I have tried replacing the msgina.dll file by renaming the original to .old in the two places that it exists, Winnt/System32 and Winnt/System32/dllcache, this did nothing. (Used Recovery Console) Microsoft says that this is an SP3 problem and that it was corrected with SP4 but this machine is running SP4 ? After I replaced the msgina.dll file and it still did not work I thought I had better register the dll. Upon attempting to register I got the follow message. "msgina.dll was loaded, but the dllRegisterServer entry point was not found. DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of msgina.dll may be in memory. Consider using Pview to detect and remove it." Before I go any further I would like to hear what you all have to say, if indeed you have anything to say about W2k. Thanks, BDM
