bootup problem

[bmtn]

Hi,

I'm running winxp pro sp1 on dell latitude c840, I could not boot up anymore the screen just went blank after the initial winxp bootup. When I tried to bootup in Safe Mode, I get this message "winlogon.exe - Entry Point Not Found" and it said "procedure entry point AssocIsDangerous could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.DLL".

Any ideas on this message, thank you very much.

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 the files are not there, expand from the XP CD:


expand d:\i386\MSGINA.DL_ c:\windows\system32\msgina.dll
expand d:\i386\SHELL32.DL_ c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll
expand d:\i386\WINLOGON.EX_ c:\windows\system32\winlogin.exe
expand d:\i386\shlwapi.dl_ c:\windows\system32\shlwapi.dll

If you have another XP machine, make a copy of the four files and use them instead.
