Mmmh. It would be nice to figure it out, but oh well. There's a slightly newer version out, and I did tweak the code slightly, so maybe I've already fixed it

hi. i'd like to tell you all about a problem i just had with super tango patcher and how i resolved it:
i just installed the latest round of ms patches and rebooted. after rebooting, i got the tango reloader message that 3 of my files were updated and that i needed to reboot, which i did. yikes! i got three corrupted/missing file messages while booting: shell32, lsass and msgina. i couldn't boot using safe mode or last know good config. so, i busted out my trusty boot cd (mini pe xt, based on bart's pe).
using this boot cd, i browsed to c:windowssystem32 and determined that in fact only shell32.dll had been modified and now had a byte count of 0 (zero).
i then browsed to c:windowssuper tango patcherbackup and copied the backed up shell32.dll from there to both c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssystem32dllcache. i then rebooted and the whole thing with reloader-then-bad/missing-files happened all over again! ****!!!
so, again, i booted with my boot cd and copied the backed up shell32.dll file to those two location. this time when i rebooted, i went straight to safe mode and uninstalled tango patcher. i then rebooted and rebooted. xp came up perfectly. i was then able to reinstall tango patcher with no problems and all is great.
moral of the story?: any decent modder has a good boot cd. hopes this helps someone...
