Help, msigna.dll, shell32.dll winlogon.exe failed!


Recommended Posts

Okay so I disabled Windows File Protection to do something with GUIReplacer (GANT) and then restarted my computer and boom, cannot load msigna.dll then I went into recovery and replaced the msigna.dll file with the one on my cd rebooted the comp and now it says unable to start winlogon.exe shell32.dll is missing.

Anyhelp would be appreciated right now I am gonna go take shell32.dll from the cd, hope this works!

Hey bro, what you should do is reinstall windows by booting the CD hitting Install Windows, and then Repair windows. It reinstalls all the dlls and stuff for you. The only layback is that you'd have to reinstall the newest directx or something.

Thanks after I read your post I clicked F10 @ startup and started my HP Recovery I'm doing a non-destructive restore it said it will replace windows system files so I hope this works :D.

1. Boot to Recovery Console.

2 . type the following commands

cd system32 [enter]

ren winlogon.exe winlogon.old

ren msgina.dll msgina.old

ren shell32.dll shell32.old

ren shlwapi.dll shlwapi.old

cd .. [enter] (please note there is a space in between cd and ..)

cd servicepackfiles\i386 [enter]

copy MSGINA.DLL c:\windows\system32

copy SHELL32.DLL c:\windows\system32

copy WINLOGON.EXE c:\windows\system32

copy shlwapi.dll c:\windows\system32

if servicepackfiles directory not there then expand from the i386 folder as follows:

cd i386 [enter]

expand msgina.dl_ /f:msgina.dll C:\windows\system32

expand shell32.dl_ /f:shell32.dll C:\windows\system32

expand winlogon.dl_ /f:winlogon.dll C:\windows\system32

expand shlwapi.dl_ /f:shlwapi.dll C:\windows\system32

3 Type EXIT and hit enter

    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
