Just downloaded a new MS update 1/12/2011. It propted me to reboot, so I did, and it looked to be booting normally, but as soon as it was getting to the login screen it came up with an error messege.

"The application or DLL C:\Windows\system32\ODBC32.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check against your installation diskette."

With my only option being to click ok, and get caught in the same loop:"Reboot, error message, click ok, reboot back to the start again".

I have a Linksys wireless device that I have been using since I first got the computer 6 years ago, and never had a problem before with it switching to that special login screen instead of the usual login screen for Windows XP Profesional.

When I try to boot up in "safe mode", the same message comes up, but if I close the message instead of clicking ok, a different message comes up: "The user interface dll GT Gina.dll failed to load. Please contact your system adminastrator (I am admin)to replace the dll or original dll..."

Can anyone help me with this problem, what can I do? I have inportant information on my "C" drive so a complete reinstall of my operating system is not an option, and dare I mention the irony that I was going to do a backup of that very information today, as I do once or twice every month.

PLEASE HELP ME, SOMEONE, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

im taking a shot at the dark here, but maybe you could disable enforcing signed drivers. should be in the list when pressing f8 at boot. other wise re-install the file in question from the windows cd in command prompt (also available from f8)
