Hi,

I recently formatted and installed Win XP pro.

When trying to install Lotus Notes client r5.x, I am
prompted with a dialog saying
..................

Lotus Notes v5.x installs an older version of MSGINA which
controls the way you log in to Windows. As a result,
certain new Windows features might be disabled, including
Fast User Switching, Remote Assistance, and Remote
Desktop. For more information, contact Lotus.

..............
I ignored the warning as Lotus Notes is a primary software.
Can i now upgrade the MSGINA that Lotus Notes has
overwritten - How/ Where can I find it/ What is it ?

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Look in the right pane for a value called GinaDLL. If it exists, it should read MSGINA.DLL. It should not have a path (C:\Windows\System32\msgina.dll, for example).. If not, simply right click the MSGINA.DLL value and select Delete. This will force Windows to load the normal MSGINA.DLL.

Hi,

Did not locate GinaDLL in the right-hand-side for the the
reg key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.

But there exists a msgina.dll in system32.
Size: 949Kb
File ver: 5.1.2600.1343 (xpsp2.040109-1800)
Description: Windows NT Logon GINA DLL

Should I delete it? (Did not find a msgina.dll in system32
\dllcache!)

No, you should not delete this file. It is the MS version of MSGina and you want it.

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Fix Windows XP Logon. This small utility will check the Gina setting, and allow you to correct it, if it differs from what it should be.

Sorry for the late reply.

But I renamed the Msgina.dll (949 Kb).
The "WinXP recovery mechanism" detected it and a new
msgina.dll appeared in \system32.
The new one is 946 Kb and has
File ver 5.1.2600.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920)

And I am able to control my PC thru remote desktop from
another m/c. So I guess the problem brought about by Lotus
Notes is solved.

When you renamed the file, Windows File Protection kicked and replaced it from the Syste32\dllcache folder.
