Ok, I was trying to change the Startup Logo on Vista by this:

http://rajtheeban95.deviantart.com/art/A...-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.

Do you have any restore points?

So following this tutorial:

http://technical-itch.co.uk/2006/11/06/h...om-ubuntu/

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?
