warhawk03 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hey guys,I'm new to the forum, but this seems to be the place to find help. I was following the "Unattended Windows" guide on the website about logon screens. I've changed the bitmaps for the classic logon to show my company image. In order to do so, I had to use ResEdit to change and create a new MSGINA.dll file. I renamed the old one, msgina.old, and the new one msgina.dll. Now, everything works great, except when I lock my workstation, or simply log off of windows. When I do either, I don't have a box to enter my user name and password at all. No image, no box. Where did I go wrong? I only modified the GinaDLL string in the registry as the tutorial said on the website. Any ideas or suggestions?Thanks!

neo Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Change your BITMAP resource in Shell32.dll also. If you are using Windows XP MCE then modify winbrand.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhawk03 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Do you mean, opening up shell32.dll in ResEdit and changing underneath the BITMAP folder the bitmap that I want to change? Or is it through the Registry editor in XP? I'm hesitant to dive and and make drastic changes, so I'm just looking for a little more direction, but no worries.

warhawk03 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 I changed the bitmap in shell32.dll and nothing changed. When I log in, I'm not prompted to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, however my settings say it should. I can log in once, but when I log off, I do not have a login screen to enter my user name and password anymore, and when I attempt to shutdown or restart from the Start menu, nothing ever comes up on screen.Why are these changes happening when I'm only changing a couple bitmaps?

Idontwantspam Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Sounds like something got screwed up somehow. I'd try just starting all over. Oh, and just leave the original MSGINA.dll in tact, then name the new one mygina.dll or something. Then use the reg tweak to specify the new gina. Try that.
