RESOLUTION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Not that you should back up the registry before you edit it.

If Windows NT is installed on a NTFS partition, install a second instance of Windows NT or move the Windows NT System drive to another NT computer and run Regedt32.exe to delete the Gina.dll entry from the failed Windows NT installation.

If Windows NT is installed on a FAT partition, copy the SOFTWARE file located in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config directory to a floppy disk and take it to another Windows NT computer and follow the below instructions.

2. Go to the Hkey_Local_Machine window.

3. Select the Hkey_local_machine key entry.

4. From the Registry menu, click load Hive.

5. Browse and select the failed Windows NT installation path IE: Winnt

6. Go to the System32\Config directory, and select the SOFTWARE file.

   NOTE: Software file with no extension is the correct one.

7. Click OK, and type a key name of test.

8. Double-click the new test key and follow this path:

         Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon
   

9. Remove the entry Ginadll:REG_SZ:NGINA.DLL

10. Double-click the test key to collapse it.

11. From registry menu, click unload hive.
