I have a dell 8100 running XP Pro. The problem started with Internet Explorer 6.0.28 not starting every once( Freezing and putting me in the send a message to???? ) and while. The problem became annoying. Since I am the system Admin on my home wireless network, my wife and my daughter dispatched me to handle the issue. I researched and a clean install of IE SP1 seemed to be the solution. I tried that and nothing happen ( Same problem came back). I then thought that a clean install of IE meant taking IE off the machine and reinstalling it. Now the problem is I can't get back to the ctrl-atl-del Login Screen. I get 2 error messages Message 1) The procedure entrypoint AssocisDangerous could not be Located in the dynamic link Library SHLWAPI.DLL Message 2) The Logonuser interface DLL C:\Windows\System32\Awgina.dll failed to load. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET BACK TO THE CTRL-ALT-DEL screen As I said I am running XP Pro, Zone Alarm Pro and Norton AV with 512mb . I just finished backing the system up on my Maxtor external drive. DON't want to do a complete install of XP PRO again. IF this is not the right group please refer me any group that might help Thanks in advance

have you forgotten about system restore in system tools?? its the easiest fix

Thanks for the response, I can't get to the login screen ( CTRl-ALT-DEL). It loops me back to Windows Start up. Push F1 and then I get the Win XP Black Screen and Then it goes to the 2 messages mentioned previously. If could login then I could do a system Restore. Thanks again

Your quickest fix then would be to put xp disk in boot to bios set boot order to boot to cdrom then hdd 0 Save and exit press any key to boot from cdrom then it will start set up let it go through when it finds your existing installation it will highlight and ask you if you want to windows to repair it say yes and hit r for repair do not use the recovery console. This will fix your errors and you wont lose any files other than windows update. Good Luck

Thanks, I lost you at the hdd 0 part. I have set the boot sequence. What is hdd 0?

I think I followed RobbieDickon instructions. I still get message: winlogon.exe - entryPoint not found. The procedure entry point AssocIsDangerous could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll Thanks in advance for any reply

Thanks Robbie. What I failed to mention is that I have 2 HDD. Once I changed the sequence of the Hdd the system got to the login screen. Thanks Again
