Guest R. McCarty Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Re: winlogon error Why would you try to replace a XP component with one from Vista ? There are not interchangeable. Windows XP would reject the file and probably attempt Windows File Protection to replace the module. ( if it was able to boot ).

Guest John John (MVP) Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Re: winlogon error Use the Recovery Console and return the correct shell32.dll file to the System32 folder.

Here is what it says: ===================== To start the computer and use the Recovery Console from the Setup CD-ROM Insert the Setup compact disc (CD) and restart the computer. If prompted, select any options required to boot from the CD. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts; choose the repair or recover option by pressing R. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access from the Recovery Console. When prompted, type the Administrator password. At the system prompt, type Recovery Console commands; type help for a list of commands, or help commandname for help on a specific command. To exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer, type exit. =====================

First you should replace the hacked Vista Shell32.dll with the original Windows XP Shell32.dll and then see if you can boot the computer. Boot to the Recovery Console and issue the following commands, pressing enter after each: cd system32 ren shell32.dll shell32.old expand x\i386\shell32.dl_ Note that x is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive, if need be use the MAP command to get the proper drive letter. After you expand the file you should get a message telling you that the file has been expanded. Exit the Recovery Console and see if you can boot the computer. If need be you can also extract the msvcrt.dll file. If you can boot the computer after you change the Shell32.dll file try running an SFC scan: sfc /Scannow John
