Per a Windows XP Support Fix File, I deleted the registry string value for
the logon screen which was preventing the Welcome Screen from appearing. The
string was "something like":
string: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows
NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon/msgina
value: msgina.dll
The support file indicated that the old value, upon being deleted, would
regenerate upon restart. If not, rebooting to the last known good
configuration (after pressing F8 after reboot) would restore things back to
normal.
This did not occur. Now, as you might expect, I receive an error message
"The Logon User Interface DLL failed to load" and "Contact your system
administrator to replace the DLL or restore the original DLL"
I am the only user of the PC and am the sysadmin, so I really only need to
know how to change the registry string value back to what it was without
having to boot into Windows. I have tried all safe mode boots and I just get
the previously mentioned error message.
