As mentioned in my other post this adds yet more weight to my suspicions.

I'm not sure how well this second WgaLogon entry would work without the
D-Link GINA, it may not make any difference at all but I just don't
know. You would have to try removing the GINA entry only and returning
it to msgina and see what happens, of course at this juncture I cannot
guarantee the bootability of the box once you start fiddling with these
entries. My experience tells me that it should boot if you replace only
the D-Link GINA and that if it doesn't that it should still boot to Safe
Mode or Last Known Good. If it does fail to reboot then you will have
to be prepared to do advanced registry recovery (of the Software Hive)
as described in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307545
