My laptop was dropped one too many times - need data off it though
Dropped my laptop once, cracked the screen, still worked fine.
Dropped it again, screen is unreadable and when I start it with another monitor it boots normally until the Windows XP login screen and then says a DLL file for user names is missing. Whenever I open the screen (trying to start it in safe mode) the other monitor goes off and I can't see what the hell is going on. I'm down after 10k hands and I'm really pissed at poker and my computer. [censored]. [censored]. [censored]. Someone tell me how I can get the data, and where I can get another laptop in the next 3 days with good resolution. Thanks, Craig

Get something like this, put your HDD in it, and attach it to whatever computer you come up with.

I just got it working with the external monitor...but I think we have bigger problems. Windows won't start normally or in safe mode.
This is the error message: "The login user interface DLL msgina.dll failed to load." Is there any hope? -Craig

I imagine you have already seen this.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...ty/msgina.mspx and this http://www.netadmintools.com/art190.html Other then that, it's hard to say (that second link is for Win2K but should be pretty similar to XP if thats what you are using.

Re: My laptop was dropped one too many times - need data off it though
I'm kind of a noob and don't really know what to do with those. I googled download msgina.dll and found a place to download it. Is that a good idea? If so what do I do after I DL it?
Thanks
