[QUOTE="sirius, post: 473477, member: 258"] Howdy. My dads laptop has become corrupted. When you start it, it says the MSGINA.dll has failed to load and the only option is to restart. Theres no safe mode, last good config doesnt work, nothing. Ive found his Gericom recovery CD version of Windows XP home sp1, and can get to the c:windows prompt from the "R" recorvery option on th windows setup. Theres no floppy disk drive on this laptop, and I cant seem to open a USB drive:o . Ive checked the system 32 folder and it seems the file is missing, or just hidden. What I was thinking of doing is copying my "msgina.dll" off my PC onto a cd and replacing it on his laptop into the system32 folder....... Will this work? If so, how do i do that in the command prompt. Im terribly rusty with what to type to change directories, copy, rename, etc in the command promt mode. Can somebody kindly list how I would get msgina.dll from a CD drive into the system 32 folder on my dads laptop? Also, before I do that, I notice on [U]mine[/U] that there is a hidden folder called "last good". C:\windows\lastgood\system32\msgina.dll. Would I be able to access a similar folder on my dads laptop and see if I can replace the file that way? How would I do that? Cheers Sirius [/QUOTE]
