Can't Boot Vista! [HELP] - Reece - 10-14-2009
Ok, I was trying to change the Startup Logo on Vista by this:
http://rajtheeban95.deviantart.com/art/Authui-vista-logo-StartUp-126368144
I took control of Authui.dll.
Changed the name of the original to Authui2.dll (because I was gonna put the other on in the folder.
I was trying to put the Authui.dll that came with the DeviantArt download but it wouldn't move. Anyway, somehow my computer restarted and I guess without the Authui.dll it won't boot.
It shows the bootscreen but then goes black. I tried safemode and it does the exact same thing.
What can I do?

Boot from a live CD and then go to the location of authui.dll and put one in from the 'net.

Yes, I actually set one right before this happened.
But how do I restore when I cant even get to login?

So following this tutorial:

Download another Authui.dll (or change the name of the old one back to Authui.dll) and put it in my System folder in Windows?
