Strange Gina Malfunction

[Jason Webster]

Has anyone seen this problem before and know how to fix it, short of reinstalling Windows. Our login prompt comes up without any fields to enter a login name or password. You can tab down and enter the info and login, you just can't see it. Very strange. Check out the attachment if you are having trouble understanding what is going on. Any help, would be very appreiciated.

Just a guess. See if you have something new in regedit at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

Also check in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

and especially check that GinaDLL still uses

C:\Winnt\system32\msgina.dll

(I noticed that PcAnywhere likes to replace it with awgina.dll)

Check that you still have the original msgina.dll in c:\winnt\System32

It turns out that this server ran out of physical hard drive space and when it was rebooted this problem occurred.
