Computer Dell laptop/windows xp, got virus.tried to fix. BAD IDEA. ERROR: DLL msgina.dll UI winlogon.exe - bad image.logon failed to load.
Computer Dell laptop of my husband has a virus that wants you to install a fake security program. I tried to fix it. OOPS. I tried to choose an earlier date to restore your computer to and I got zapped, crashed and burned. Error is now: winlogon.exe - bad image then the msgina.dll login user interface DLL failed to load, contact admin to replace the dll or restore the original dll. I don't have a boot cd. Is there a way of "back door" to get his computer works again?
As you know now, do a restore of the system on a severely infected machine is not a good thing. Better to save the data and do a clean installation of Windows. You can try to do it yourself, but based on your post, which I would not recommend it. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, just to be practical. It would be better to take the machine to a competent local tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place).
If you really want to try it yourself, here's what you need to do:
1. start the computer with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix. You are using Linux, copy the data files on an external hard drive.
2. install Windows using the XP Dell installation CD.
3. install all the drivers for Dell. Use the Dell Resource CD or get the drivers from the Dell advance website.
4. switch to XP Service Pack 3 and do all the Windows updates.
5. install a good antivirus - NOD32 (commercial), Avast or Avira (both have free versions).
6. install all other desired programs, updated if necessary (especially if you have MS Office).
7. analyze data saved with the antivirus before you copy it to the new clean install. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

My dell laptop had the hard drive replaced. My son, who knows computers, installed the new hard drive. Then he tried to install my Windows XP Professional software - when it came time to put the product key #, it was not accepted. It's authentic. The product key is: * removed *.
There no mention of this issue in section outages or other information provided in the booklet provided. Can you help me with this problem?
The license key and product type must match (XP Home vs XP Pro;) (and OEM license vs the retail license). If it's a Dell computer and you get the product key from a sticker on the case, then there is likely a version of Windows XP OEM this product key. If you install Windows XP from a retail installation disk, then the types of licenses will not match. You will need to use the license that accompanies the retail installation disc or you will need to contact Dell for an OEM installation disc to go with the license on your sticker case.

Solaine Veera - why in the computer Dell laptop, Windows 7 Internet problems occur?
Hey,.
I'm Smayak Veera and work for a COMPUTER company in the United States.
I bought a Dell laptop for a few months now, and it is constantly with a watch "No Internet access" in the yellow icon. It is always the e-mail that I am connected but do not have access to the internet and I can not open Web pages, I own every connection and they are connected well. If I unplug the router and reconnect it works very well for 30-60 minutes but then I get the new icon.
Now, of course, I could just evey time turn off and re activate the connector wireless after every half hour but its boring and would rather it was fixed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Waiting for your quick response.
Kind regards
Solaine Veera
Always include the exact model number and the version of Windows in your messages. And if it's a laptop, next time post in the forum of the laptop .
If I understand correctly, you are using a wireless connection to the router. Have you checked the Windows settings to see if WiFi is turned off "to save energy? Look in device for an entry-level WiFi Manager and double-click it to open it. If there is a power management tab, click it and look for a box "allow the PC shuts off... "and uncheck the box. Then restart.
Can the router is having issues?
Have you checked with your ISP?

I'm about to rip the hair off my head with my laptop. My latitude was blue planned, surprisingly I fixed it (don't ask how, you couldn't tell). Then my dell inspiron would not start right after my dell latitude fell out of my truck and landed on the sidewalk, wanted to kill the person, the screen is broken. I can use it but it is very difficult, see a mosquito net and not perfectly clear, works well. lol someone knows somewhere or that would install a new screen for a reasonable price? I live in the Boston area.
Back to the laptop won't start not, when I ran repair USB key received the error 0x400110020000100A
Hello
Thank you for the update on the issue. I appreciate your time and effort in resolving this issue.
You can try the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
You can use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot and repair the following items in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
- A master boot record (MBR)
- A boot sector
- A Boot Configuration data (BCD) store
Note: When you are troubleshooting startup issues by using the Windows RE, you should first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If the Startup Repair option does not resolve the problem, or if you must troubleshoot more steps manually, use the Bootrec.exe
Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392
If the problem persists, proceed to method 2.
Method 2:
Please follow these steps:
- Tool command prompt open in the mode of the Windows recovery environment .
- You will see X:\Sources
- Type chkdsk c:\ at the flashing prompt to launch the utility Chkdsk. replace c:\ with the letter of the drive that you want to run the Chkdsk utility. If the hard drive is d:\, then type that instead.
- After the "chkdsk c:\. "insert \f command to fix errors on the disk volume or the \r to recover bad sectors and then press ENTER.
- Restart the computer once the chkdsk command has completed.
