1. (Optional) Rename the existing loginw32.dll (with a .old extension, for example) in the \System32 folder. Do not reboot before proceeding!
2. Install the file by doing ONE of the following:
a) Run the _491psp3_loginw32_3.bat file.

c) Manually copy and replace the existing loginw32.dll in directory listed in Step 1, above.
