I am not sure I am in the correct forum, but I recently started having a problem with an application starting to load and then a message coming up stating that there was a problem with the "ntdll.dll" file.
I even located a copy to download, placed that in the WindowsSystem32 folder and each time I continue to attempt to launch this application, it partially starts up, then hangs and then gives me the error message.
Is there something I am not doing correctly? Any suggestions? It had been working just fine for the past year or so and about a month ago, BOOM, this error message came up.
When I run a game called GTR2, the game freezes when it tries to access a file that draws a race track. The error message "Windows has encountered an error..." shows that the error is caused by the ntdll.dll file. Is the file corrupt?
Mobo MSI K8T Neo Graphics Saphire X1950 Pro 2 seagate baracuda RAID 0 array 120G each so 240 total, only 1 partition.
I have never formatted. It started showing problems when I tried to install drivers for the graphics card. I could never get the drivers to work properly, now my framerate drops every few seconds in every game. I decided it was time to format it after I left alone for a few months.
This is the process I followed:
1-) Enter Windows XP SP3 CD in drive. 2-) Boot from CD. 3-) Windows Set Up appears and loads it's files.
At this point, I get the message "Starting Windows" which usually comes right before the Set up screen where I could format but I get an error (blue screen) that says
Dell desktop running Windows XP SP2 is reporting an application error on a regular basis. Especially when trying to install new programs. It seems event errors have the ntdll.dll in common.

Getting a strange error in Dell Inspiron 9300, running some version of XP, and that's all that I know.
When you turn on his computer, you see the Dell startup-screen for a second, and then it automatically brings you to the prompt that says "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully." window. There are obviously 5 options: Safe Mode, SM with Networking, SM with Command Prompt, Last Known Good Configuration, and Start Windows Normally. Each one of those brings me to the blue screen that says:
STOP: c000021 Unknown Hard Error SystemRootSystem32 tdll.dll
I searched on other forums, and it seems that this is what people have done to fix this: either try to Repair Windows, reinstall Windows, manually replace ntdll.dll (if they can actually get into Windows, which I can't), or do something with their memory cards, I'm not sure what.
Are those approaches I listed correct? And 2nd, I don't want to have to mess with my friend's memory if I don't have to.I'm not too much of a tech person. I do, however, have my family's Windows XP Home Edition install CD with me.if I put that into his computer, and try to repair Windows, would that work?
Every time I exit Overlord I get Send/Don't Send error with modname "ntdll.dll". A mate of mine has the same error. ps: is is normal that Windows XP has so many errors?
I can not register ntdll.dll. The message I get is Ntdll.dll was loaded, but dllregister server entry point was not found. This dll can not be registered. I have windows xp home sp2.
I have a Windows XP machine that keeps coming up with an ntdll.dll error. It happens in a couple places. Either at boot up after logon or when I'm using Internet Explorer.
Here is a HiJackThis log just in case it's needed.....

I am Running XP home and has a corrupt ntdll.dll. The person I am helping tried reinstalling wimdows to a different directory to bring the computer up. How to replace the nt.dll file from the initial install.
I am trying to copy/paste a clean ntdll.dll into the Windows/System32 folder and to no surprise I cannot as the message I get is another resource is using that file. How can I determine what resource(s) and if so, am I able to disable it in order to replace that file?
I'm doing so as per Windows explorer errors that nobody can seem to resolve and I really dont want to reinstall Windows, I just did it about 7 or 8 months ago.
When I right click almost anything I get the explorer has encountered a problem and has to close. always the faulting module kernel32.dll. Then immediately another box appears with the drwatson postmortem debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close, I then have to ctrl alt del to close the drwtsn.exe and get my desktop back. I have been having problems in psp7 with ntdll being the faulting module. I run the bare minimum start up programs and have ran all virus and spyware scans. I have googled this problem until. Im running windows xp pro sp2. AMD 2400 Have loads of disk space and plenty of free RAM.LV.
I've been experiencing random crashes of Explorer.exe, and when looking at the Application window of the Event Viewer it details this:
Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2800.1106, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.1106, fault address 0x00001d24.
I searched around the internet and found no real answer, there's some solutions which require using the Data Execution Prevention tab with SP2, and adding explorer.exe to the list. I plan to try this, but I was wondering, would replacing ntdll.dll with another computer's possibly fix the problem? It's been an annoyance now for a month, and I've ran every virus scan, every spyware/malware/ware-ness program known to man, to no avail.
When in Windows Explorer (XP Pro) and burrowing through folders I get the following error:
Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Details: AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: ntdll.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 000106c3
I can make it happen consistently by going to the eighth level of sub-folders.It just closes Explorer and then everything comes back up (except for Explorer or my email if I was attaching a file).
I have tried everything, including a reparative install of Windows XP Pro. I have run sfc /scannow. I try to do regsvr32 ntdll.dll and I get the following error:
ntdll.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. The file can not be registered.
I have run Ad Aware SE, SpySweeper and Spybot (and even a TDS-3 full system scan). Spyware/virus is not the problem. Caches/temps are cleared, she defrags fine. This is a Dell Latitude 600m 1.6GHz 768MB.
last time i was to format the hard drive of my hp laptop while files were copied through os cd all of sudden due to power cut the installation had to cancelled,when next time I tried to install the os my laptop screen showed a message "NTLDR IS MISSING..TO RESTART PRESS CTRL+ALT+DELETE" BUT EVEN TRYING TO RESTART IT COULD NOT
I'm on WinXP. I have a 2.4GHz PC. It used to take just 40 seconds to boot up my computer. Now it takes at least 7 minutes and then if I try and open Outlook, another 5 minutes. It was working fine a week ago, and oddly enough, this sluggish performance seems to be at the same time I installed a bunch of Windows updates.
I try and run Norton to check for viruses, or burn a DVD, everything works okay until about 5 minutes into it, and then suddenly I can no longer move the mouse and everything seems to be hung up. I can't even do a ctrl-alt-delete.
I'm not sure how to proceed.If need be, I am willing to back up all my files and initialize the hard drive and start with a clean slate, but I'd prefer not to.
1) Should I re-install Windows? It says the version on my CD is older than what's on my computer, and I think it said I should back up my files.
2) Should I run hi-jack this? Never run that before but maybe someone can see something that doesn't look right.
3) Is there a good free utility out there that can help diagnose the performance issue?
4) I know I have too many processes running in the background at any given time, and I'm not entirely sure which ones are necessary. Maybe some process in the background is slowing everything down?
I haven't been able to run Norton or anti-spyware, because the computer just stalls several minutes into the scan. I'm just thinking now, maybe I should run in Safe Mode to see if I can run Norton or Ad Aware?
My bookmarks all of a sudden have disappeared on me. I did nothing out of the ordinary last night, shut off my cpu, went to bed, woke up this morning andvoila
All of a sudden my computer slows to down. When I open task manager there are 15-20 programs running. But all the programs just say task manager.I delete them all but they come back a few hours later. I have run a virus scan with my Norton program but nothing. What is causing all this?
Hey, Recently my computer would just restart all of a sudden. I would be doing something and then all of a sudden the computer screen goes black and I hear the computer restarting
The problem I got is that suddenly my trusty notebook started taking 10 minutes to start up while it usually took it 30-50 seconds, I really hope this is not a hardware/RAM issue as I don't have the money right now to buy required parts to fix it and my job depends on working in my computer. And in case it's useful here is a logfile of hijack this I just did.after the 10 minutes it takes it to start, it works as smoothly as it have always done,
Problem just started a day ago but it's really got me down. I'm freezing/hanging up in any graphic intensive program from Photoshop to games. PC will either freeze up needing a reset, or hang up then crash and restart Anyway, I've been through all the preliminary steps, did viral scan, spyware scan (CA AntiVirus and Ewido), cleaned the disks, defragged, etc. I updated my card drivers, made sure I'm up to date on all drivers actually. Still same problem. I tried even removing my antivirus program just to see if that was the problem (I just renewed it several days ago) but to no avail.The event viewer gives me no clues about what's going on. Hopefully someone can help me out, just started all of a sudden! Here's some system specs:
I have reinstalled firefox but i just got another error report modname: firefox.exe
My computer has started playing up, I've been getting bluescreens like its a buffer overlow but before this happens a program usually closes with an error and when i view this error using tech info for it usually logs to temp/8262_appcompat.txt . Windows has been closing programs randomly with an error report usually due to a .dll file.
Lately I'm getting the "I.E. has encountered a problem and needs to close" message so of course I lose what I had open and have to start over. It's not doing it constantly or consistant on the same websites but it is at least a few to several times a day now. It seems to do it most often when leaving a site and trying to go back to whatever preceeded it especially if I click the back button more than once(unnecessary habit I know). Here is the info shown for the problem:
The offset # is the only one that is different each time it comes up.
* I've ran the Norton system scan a few times( just their regular version, not their registry cleaner) * ran CW Schredder * ran Ad Aware * Keep Spyware Blaster up to date * and tried CCcleaner None of which made any difference.
Using Windows XP Home/SP2 on a Compaq laptop.Automatic updates have been happening regularly. I am running AVG Antivirus (free version) on it.
I was running a financial package i.e. a programme of writing account books i.e. Tally version 5.4 on it. It has been running fine for last two years. Now after two three months, when I tried to use it, it opened up and closed down on my face immediately. I kept on trying to run it and it gave me message:
"WTALLY caused an access violation in ntdll.dll at 0x7c911404. Click on Close to terminate Click on cancel to debug Click on Ignore to Continue, you should save your work in a new file."
I clicked on ignore but it halted and ultimately I had to either canel it or close it. Yes out of twelve thirteen times of my attempts to run it, made it run only for once. After that the result is the same.
This programme runs in Safe Mode.
I think, the problem could be because of automatic updates. Some update has put a patch or like that on some file which has caused erratic or restrained working of some component.
I checked I have ntdll.dll file in my windows's system directory and two more places. And from one site, I downloaded the ntdll.dll file but has not replaced the one in my system. My second question is : HOW safe it is to replace ntdll.dll with the new file I downloaded from the net.
I am trying to load SalesLogix CRM software client on a Dell Inspiron 9200 laptop with Windows XP SP2. Everytime SalesLogix opens I get an error report saying SalesLogix.exe had to close and the faulting module was NTDLL.DLL. I tried SalesLogix support but they were of no help. I tried copying in NTDLL.DLL from another computer that SalesLogix is working on but I could not get it to register. Something about DLLRegisterServer entry point not found.
My comnputer just started freezing randomly, and I cannot listen to music and do something else anymore. Any action that MS Word, or Firefox, or IE, etc, takes, and the music starts skipping. Same thing with videos. The computer has just become very uncooperative in general. And the "activity light" of the computer that normally blinks, sometimes stays on, without blinking, for minutes at a time, and I am not doing anything.
I was playing world of warcraft while watching a video and chatting on msn. My character died, and then suddenly BOOM, my computer restarted for no reasons (I ever saw my light turning down in my room) Now, its all screwed up. It takes AGES just to open winamp, most of my applications just won't open or take too long.
So I reinstalled XP Home on an MPC Pentium 4 HT. After installing all the windows updates, including SP3, and some basic programs, I was up and running. The pc was running fast, and it was a joy to use. Then, just 1 week after the initial install, I'm on the computer playing a flash game, when it suddenly shuts down. I reboot, and instead of going to Welcome screen, then desktop with all my icons, it's showing the factory default resolution (you know, huge mouse cursor and all), and asking me to activate Windows, which I did about 6 days ago
