A new Blue Screen: A thread tried to release a resource it did not own 0xE3

I tried the last suggestion. Gets to login screen, while I'm typing in my password it restarts. ? I'm really confused. I got a new monitor a few months ago. I've since been using a higher screen resolution. Since safe mode has a low res, could this be causing something? Video Card working too...

One of my computers just started this and I can't find any solutions after two days of searching, would appreciate any help. On startup I get to loggin, sometimes computer locks while "loading personal settings", sometimes desktop appears and I try to find problem but after very little time...

stduc, do you have any idea if this freezer technique has the chance of ruining data that the pros may be able to recover? If its unlikely that I am going to destroy drive further, I would be willing to try it.

I have a friends crashed hard drive which I am attempting to try and recover any data from it that I possibly can. From the research I have done so far it is not looking promising but I figured I would see if anyone had any more ideas. Drive: Western Digital WD800JB 80G His computer locked up...

I solved the problem before your reply but thanks for all the advice anyway. Ended up getting Spy Sweeper to complete a scan in safe mode. It caught and removed something that allowed scans from the other programs to complete and remove a whole list of junk. Computer is back to normal. Thanks.

I have got something in my computer that is driving me crazy and I can't even identify it let alone remove it. Symptoms: Explorer.exe uses 100% CPU randomly, not always (even in safe mode) Can't open System32 folder (even in safe mode and from cmd) Internet connection is being hijacked...

I just did a clean install (formatted hard drive) of win xp pro on a computer and everything went fine except this one weird thing. Every time it starts up now it gives me a boot screen that asks me to choose an os to boot and lists two identical "Windows XP Pro" Choices. How do I get it to not...

Ok, I fixed the problem with the help of bcastner's post. Found registry value Ginadll set to CTCGina.dll, changed to Msgina.dll. Everything seems to be working fine. Thanks for everyones help.

Ok finally I got it to boot in safe mode but it won't boot safe with networking and I need to get this file (36M) off the computer or find and fix the problem that is causing this so I don't have to format. I can't find in Remote software. Where else should I look? Thanks.

I searched for the .dlls on both computers. On the working laptop: msgina.dll, shgina.dll Same two .dlls are on the non-working one. No CTCGina.dll or CTXGina.dll on either computer. Why would it be trying to load a .dll that doesn't exist? Is there some way I can make it not try to load that...

CTCGina.dll is the exact file name in the popup window. I know CTXGina.dll is the only thing I could find anything about too. I'm stumped.

I have two laptops that are identical machines and were running Win Me. I wanted to upgrade both to Win XP Pro. On one it worked just fine, not a glitch. On the second, after XP seems to be installed completely and the computer is rebooting the last time, a window pops up: "User Interface...

I found Btrieve and it rebuilt 4 of the files successfully but 2 of the files have these statements in error log. REBUILD-68: Status code 54 was returned while copying records from the following file: REBUILD rejected a total of 89035 records. Can anything be done or am I stuck backing up?

I do have a backup but it is not as recent as I'd like. Where to I find Btrieve and how do I use it. Everything I've "Goolged" on it gives me a lot of different information that is not making much sense in regards to .dat files. Thanks.
