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.
Here's one event log entry:

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
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.
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?
I'm getting a new motherboard, Processor, Ram, and Graphics Card. I want to add these to my existing setup, where i will keep the 2 hard drives, the 2 dvd drives, floppy, and sound card. ONe of the Hard Drives has WinXp on it. Will there be any problems by doing this? Will the OS be ok with recognizing the new hardware? Will Windows complain about authentication?
I am looking for now is a program where I can log into their computer without having them logged off, so they can actually see what I am doing (and I don’t have to repeat it all over the phone).
Does anyone have a suggestion what prog I can use for that? (or a link to a side would be also great) Have been searching for the web for hours but I guess my English just doesn’t provide me with the right keywords to get any results I can use.
AOL Broadband Checkup always hangs when I'm signed on. Computer Checkup works fine & will sign on automatically if needed. Not a major problem, I just want to get it fixed.
Windows XP (home), sp2 & all updates, Windows firewall. AOL 9, Platinum 2mb. Spybot S&D, AdAware SE Personal with latest updates, XSoftSpy with latest updates. Presario 2504EU Laptop.
Ok this worm has infected my procinit.exe file in the windows flder norton can't delete it or fix it anyone know of a good prog. to fix this file or a way of getting rid of it?
I'm working on a Compaq desktop system and have run into something that has me stumped. The system is XP Home-SP2 with all patches, etc .It's my understanding that ActiveX controls such as Shockwave, Java, QuickTime, Ewido, etc show up in c:windowsdownloaded program files. (That's also where they appear on my HP laptop, and there's a status column that shows "installed") On the desktop system however, there are no activex controls in c:windowsdownloaded program files.....and no "status" column. Instead, there's a folder called "Conflict.1" and a bunch of *.dll and *.inf files. The desktop does have Shockwave, Ewido, Java, etc. installed though.
The system belongs to a friend and when I received the desktop, there was no AV or anti-malware software on it. It had a host of both; however, I have cleaned it.
An update cause my Sony Vaio laptop to show only the wallpaper at startup. It never finished booting, but I could launch Firefox from task mgr. Well, after several days of poking, prodding, regedits, and reinstalls I still could not complete the SP2 update. Did an XP repair & still could not get SP2 laid on. Last night I finally did a complete XP reinstall. I'm now in the process of d-ling drivers.
I named the new install - "New," my previous was "Me". I also have docs&settings for: Admin, All Users, All Users.Windows, Default User, Default User.Windows, Me.Vaio. All Users seems to have all of my installed progs listed in the Start Menu>Progs, yet my new install shows only the Windows bare basics.
1 - How do I get those imported to my "New" profile? Simply drag/drop the Program Files folder??
2 - Somehow the desktop folder for the previous install (Me) is gone. Of course the new install has the clean desktop. need to know the way to recover the old one & port it to the new install?
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.
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.
A thread here,I was trying to use the news reader part of outlook express and it could read all of the post correctly. The only problem is when I click on New Post or Reply Post, I could see the frame of text editor opened up with no button on it and then tells me that Outlook Express has encountered an error and needs to close, blah blah blah.
I looked through the error reporting file and was told that ntdll.dll was the troublemaker, here is the error reporting file that Outlook Express asked me to send to Microsoft:
It has happened every time without failure, and even after I have re-installed the entire Windows XP system, the problem would come up again. I am using an IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M 1.6GHz processor and 1.2GB of RAM, I have the automatic update enabled to install all the software patches from Microsoft and so on.
I'm trying to install my printer, usb, lexmark x75 all in one. When I try to install it I get a weird rpc server is unavailable error and it won't install it.
After suffering months of freezing PC and blue screens (primarily the dreaded kernel stack error. I have done tried all the recovery tricks from here and MS website, done chkdsk /f & /r repeatedly over four days without using the PC in between, and all the other stuff from here and Microsoft. Bought an expensive Reg cleaner and run it repeatedly. No luck. No recently installed soft or hardware. New Dell desktop. 1 year of trouble-free life until this. I now boot from the recovery XP CD (it includes SP2) to try to reformat the whole shebang and it gets as far as loading setup files OK, then as usual tries to start load windows installation and ... blue screen. STOP error 0x0000007B (OXF78D2524 OXC0000034, OX00000000, OX00000000). Decided to buy a new HDD and install XP on that. (3 weeks from Dell!) and in machine. Old one disconnected. Tried installing XP from disk. It stalls at exactly the same moment as before (loads up preliminary files, gets to ""starting Windows" and then the dreaded blue screen with the same error message as before. 0X0000007B (OXF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000). So presumably not HD (although always good to have one). Have downloaded Memtest and run it for 24 hours. No RAM errors reported.
