Netgear Mrvgina.dll

PhalanxDan · Aug 31, 2006

I have recently installed a Netgear wireless card, but when I did I downloaded a file Mrvgina.dll that changed my start-up screen. I did a search for Mrvgina,dll and found it c:\windows\system32. I tried to delete it but it came back with access denied. I tried to contact Netgear but haven't recieved any assistance yet. Can anybody help me fix my problem?

Google result on the dll name:

I have found an answer and it worked on my pc...however it involves editing the registry so it would probably be good to have a back out plan (just in case....i.e. do so at your own risk)

after installing the new netgear driver/utility go to Start -->Run and type regedit.

when the registry editor opens browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version/WINLOGON
Delete the key named GINAdll

Thats it....afterward you may want to go back into the control panel and check the 'change the way users log on or off' and make sure the welcome screen and fast user switching are both checked.
Click to expand...

Be sure you are comfortable editing the Windows registry before proceeding, and set a system restore point beforehand.

Thanks for this. I was able to start my Windows 2003 Server in safe mode with dos prompt, enter ther registry editor and delete the entry. Problem solved.
