Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

hi im sorry i cant offer any help but you seem to know alot about computers,
i think im have a similar problem, which is as follows:

when trying to delete sp2, as instructed by windows
after deleting a hotfix windows will now not open, and is giving me the
following message:
winlogon.exe entry point not found
the procedure entry point associsdangerous could not be locatde in the
dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll.
click 'ok'

then another message appears:
the logon user interface dlll msgina.dll failed to load
contact your system adimistator to replace the dll or restore the original dll

do you have any ideas?

The /F option is not available in the Automatic Recovery Mode(ARM????). You
enter ARM when you boot from the install CD, usually cause the HD is cactus.
The chkdsk (one of only a few system commands ARM has) doesn't have the /f
option available.
