Past attempt to get a green card- positive or negative on a new petition?

The past application, alone, should not be detrimental to a future application, and in some cases, may actually be very helpful. For example, if the prior application was filed prior to 2001, then it may make you eligible for a law called 245(i) that enables you to pay a penalty and be forgiven for certain status-related violations. But, you should also make sure that the previous denial did not result in the initiation of removal proceedings against you and that you do not have an outstanding order of removal.

If you do, you would be required to reopen the removal proceedings before you can proceed with filing for a new permanent resident application. You should definitely consult with immigration attorneys denver in this case.
