Everytime I start my computer I get an error message
stating that msgins.dll is corrupt or missing and then, I
have to restart. please help!
 
have you made a spelling mistake, if msgins.dll should be spelt msgina.dll do this

To resolve this issue, use the Windows Recovery Console to extract a new copy of the msgina.dll file from the original Windows XP compact disc (CD). To do this, follow these steps:
1.. Start the Recovery Console. If you do not have the Recovery Console installed, start it from the Windows XP compact disc (CD). To do this, follow these steps:
1.. Insert the Windows XP CD and restart the computer. If prompted, select any options required to boot from the CD.
2.. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts; choose the repair or recover option by pressing R.
3.. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access from the recovery console.
4.. When prompted, type the Administrator password.
2.. At the command prompt, type cd system32, and then press ENTER.
3.. Type ren msgina.dll msgina.old, and then press ENTER.
4.. Type map, and then press ENTER.
5.. Note the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD. It is displayed in a format similar to the following:
D: \Device\CdRom0
6.. Type expand drive\i386\msgina.dl_ (where drive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD), and then press ENTER. For example:
Expand d:\i386\kernel32.dl_ <ENTER>

Note the underscore character after the "L" in msgina.dl_

The following message appears:
msgina.dll
1 file(s) expanded.
7.. Type exit. The computer restarts.
8.. Remove the Windows XP CD and start the computer normally.

Taken from this KB artical but done on a different file, the procedure is the same for the file msgina.dll

i have the same problem but i cant even get my computer to boot from cd. i cant even get to step 2. all because i did a windows update!!!
 
You may need to change some BIOS settings and your PC must be capable of
booting from the CD, this is probably most likely to be the case.

1. When the computer restarts or is switched and before the OS starts hit
the delete button, or whatever button is used to acces the BIOS, normally
tells you at the bottom of the screen when the computer is switched on. e.g.
Press Delete to enter BIOS..

2. Once your in the BIOS, select Advanced BIOS Settings or similar.

3. Now you will need to change the boot order so that CDROM is before C:,
then save the BIOS settings

4. Should now be able to boot from the Win XP CD

If you are still unable to boot from the cd or not understanding the above
procedure reply back.
You can also boot from floppies, have a look at this.
