I renamed the csgina.dll to enable the fast switching in an absent-minded
state (I wanted to actually rename the registry entries. I restarted the m/c
again in this same absent-minded state. The machine wont boot up now. It
gives some sort of User interface error and points to the csgina.dll
ANy help in restoring the system would be appreciated.
Thanks

SCANNOW

If you have an XP disk you can do a scan for missing
files. Put the disk in your driver and wait for the
autoplay to do it's thing. Now click exit on the
selections screen and leave the disk in.
click>start\run\and type in cmd and hit enter or click ok.
Now the command screen comes up and you type in
SFC /scannow and hit enter. This should scan for any
missing files or dll's that windows XP needs and put them
back in their Microsoft specs.
