Sharp Code

Thank you so much!!!! Worked like a charm!

so how am i supposed to get rid of this thing and how does it get on my cmputer????

What off your computer? MRVGINA.dll you should only need to complete the steps taken in this post (link) if you are having problems with your welcome screen.

finally!!!!! i found someone who knows what he's taling about

I F8 key and nothing happens. Now what? Please help?

You need to press it at the appropriate screen. You should see some sort of loading screen and then at the bottom of the screen it should have 2 options or so. Thats when you press F8. If it didn't work try pressing it immediately or a little later than usual. But it should work.

Thank you so much, was able to download the program and burn it on a CD then open the laptop in safe mode and download it from the CD. Then restarted the computer and it's back. FANTASTIC!!!

How sure that this is a permanent fix? Or do I need to do anything else to prevent future problems? I have deleted my Netgear and switched to Linksys.

That is it :)

I haven't had problems yet and when i do (which should be never) then ill post how to fix it :)

You are so rad, this worked perfectly for me. Thanks

Thanks a million, saved my day after Netgear 311v3 installation on 2003 server. I'm now able to log on.
Thanks again.

Why in hells name is this file on the Netgear install disk?
I have contacted them and they would NOT give any support and claimed it was just part of the standard install and would offer no more information. I was told it was not a problem. The hell it's not. I have installed 9 PCI wireless cards into a system and crashed the entire network.
Netgear can go to hell. I will NEVER use their products again.
The so called "support" is run from some offshore call centre with morons that barely speak English and have a set of Q & A in front of them. Anything "outside of the box" is put down to user error!!

I tried several times and several ways including the one suggested in order to fix the mrvgina.dll issue on my computer but everytime I try to run your little program to remove it it says the file is in use no matter if I am in safe mode or whatever. Norton won't help, microsoft won't help and my warranty with dell is up. Can anyone help?

Brilliant, excellent. Worked a treat. Thanks so much.

I'm glad I researched before buying a wireless network card. It seems that there is a solution to this issue... but in my case, why bother. I'd just go with linksys instead.

It puzzles me that they included it in the install if it's gonna cause issues. I read that is supposedly needed for remote desktop access when using NETGEAR products, but when trying to remote access it also says MRVGINA.dll is not compatible... so breaks functionality and it even doesn't do what it's supposed to....go figure?

something to else to read about this:

When i downloaded the file i did not need to go to "safe mode" when i downloaded it so you could save some time by just clicking the file without going to "safe mode"

Thanks a lot! U saved a lot of time 4 me.doing this much before would have saved half a day 4 me.

MRVGINA.DLL, moar like MRVAGINA.LOL!

Gosh, its just not working.
Ok erm. when i press F8 once, a blue screen comes up that that askes me if i want to restart XP or something, or if i want to install XP SOMETHING LIKE THAT
What do i do from this point???

I ran XP_FixLogon.exe straight from Windows and it worked like a charm. At first it said the GINA value wasn't standard, I clicked Repair, then it said it was standard, I rebooted and it went right to the welcome screen. I checked User Accounts in Control Panel and the "Select logon and logoff options" screen was available. Thank you. I'll be sure to keep this exe on my flash drive, I think I've ran into that problem before but never knew how to fix it. Even if I have to go into Safe Mode, it's better than pulling my hair out!

I PRESD (F8) AND NOTHING HAPPEND NOW WHAT

Wow! This even worked with Windows Server 2003 standard.

The problem that caused it was from installing a Netgear WG311v3 CD driver.

Thanks heaps for the little program!!!!!

i need to know the solution for windows 2003 server cause i am facing the same problem in windows 2003

thanx a lot! that worked out so well. stupid netgear.

I've repaired it successfully, thanks. But how does it affect my computer?

AMAZING! Worked on my old Windows 2003 server. I read lots of other blogs but this is the only useful one! I agree with many other NETGEAR SHAME ON YOU!!!

I never write feedback but this saved me!!!!!

My partner was given a computer which has WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL AND VISTA INSPIRAT ULTIMATE on it, didnt think that was possible.

The problem is I cant access the welcome screen so I found your site and followed the steps that you said but when I go into safe mode I cant access the internet to type in the program: www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/fix_xp_logon.htm.

So nothing is working at present. We also just got a wireless router (d-Link) if thats any help.

Should I unistall VISTA or would that affect the computer or programs that are currently on there?

You my friend are the best. Worked like a charm. Thank you from all the people who have this problem...

i did everything that was told and now all it does is load, yeah the welcome screen comes up but it just sits there on the background image and nothing else, i can (windows key + R) and get explorer but that doesnt load windows just a single file

what to do, what to do

Thanks you save me a lot of trouble I downloaded the program
ran it and bingo all fixed thanks again

Whooooh Hoooh Thank you so much!!!

Whooooh Hoooh Thank you so much!!!

Whooooh Hoooh Thank you so much!!!

i´ve problem with that program installing, my computer doesn't allow me to install that, it never shows me that i can read the file on cd or smth like that. it only shows that i have to restart my system. oh g, i hope u understand it,

Thank you for the solution to a problem I had never encountered before. As a computer tech I'll buy different brand network cards in future. Netgear used to be reliable now I am not sure. It sure wasted a lot of my time and I could not deliver a new computer to anyone with a fault like that. I am really grateful for your help.

I am facing a problem while remotely connecting my PC by VNC software with another computer due to the existence of MRVGINA.dll file in that computer. And for kind information Netgear is already installed to that computer which I want to share. So is Netgear & MRVGINA.dll are all related to each other? Besides how should I deal with this MRVGINA.dll problem?

I came across this problem after installing a netgear wi fi card - although hadn't realised the installation had caused this problem until put the problem into a search engine. Was able to straight to the site to get the fix and it worked without any problems. Thanks dougknox.com!

does it works even then if i had myself deleted that mrvgina.dll file ? :D

its working yahooooooooooo........yeeeeeee

ooyee thanks oyeee....

lovley wonderful

I lost my windows welcome screen after installing a wireless netgear pci adpter. The following link helped me, and will help you as well

Awh Man! You just saved my bacon!! Thank you very much!!

thanks so much douf knows for helping all of the knowitall knownothingers out there.

Oh and I'm very disappointed with Netflix.
I got the MrvGina.dll error after running the Netgear CD...while I have the PCI adapter already installed from a previous XP install. I read somewhere that Netgear isn't compatible with server 2003. So, I guess I'll have to get a new adapter :(
When I got the error, I read so many posts and thought I would have to re-install server2003.
THEN finally found this, your solution is perfect with clear steps (not too much to read), and the .exe file just fixed it like majic. Yay!!
Thanks a lot!!!!

Thanks for great help - I installed Netgear PCI W/L card in my 2003 Server. Could not Login. After several tries I found this site. Cure was start in Safe Mode, run the XP_FixLogin program, then reboot - start up normal.
New Hardware Wizard could not find drivers for card but I found another site http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/983089.html where INF files can be downloaded.

Just wanted to pass on a big thanks. You saved me a ton of time and frustration.

I ran into this issue installing Netgear WG311 v3 on my windows 2003 server

All I can say is THANK YOU!!
