Lzs von swe. But why is it happening now, I've not seen this the whole 6months I've had the game installed.

Anyhow, I did place the Res Fix back in, and same result.

wamphyri, yes, it is the same resolution patch you speal of, and yes I should read the Wiki. Like they always say, "When all else fails, try reading the directions".

It really should not have anything to do with the res fix or ShIII.
Or does any of the mods you mention alter the ntdll.dll?
Have you uninstalled any other program lately?
A wild shot, try to run Windows Update. This .dll file have been updated at least two times, maybe you could get the latest update to run again?

Its 0300 in Sweden so I am going to sleep now, god luck.

NTDLL.DLL is a core Windows file. It contains many string, integer and file functions, which is why it appears so regularly in error messages (ie as other APIs call its functions). Also, due to exploited vulnerabilities, it's been the subject of a number of hotfixes since XP SP1 (ie v5.1.2600.1106).

One *possible* solution is to ensure that you are using v5.1.2600.2180. If not, you can get it from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?ntdll Note this version is only for XP and is the version that comes with SP2. Backup your current version first.

Usual causes for "sudden" errors in NTDLL.DLL are a) uninstalling software that mistakenly removes registry entries related to the DLL (most likely the cause through removing the SP2 Res Fix) or b) spyware or viruses removing the actual file (most likely not the cause here though as you've confirmed that the file exists).

Nb, I have also found that problems with the file tend to be limited to AMD chip users.

Thanks JS, very helpful. I have notice something in Norton and Webroot called Advertimen. It is in Quarantine. When I looked in System32, it was not there, I got one from a friend via Email. But I am gonna try your link, and do a Windows update like Lzs von swe suggested.

I really appreciate the help guys, I'll let you know what happens.

so far 1029 errors found in the scan. going to proceed with the repair function. You are my hero JS, God Bless You brother

Well, with the free trial, I was only able to have 15 files repaired, unfortunately the wrong ones. And I tried a Windows Update, but I am all updated to date.

I wonder what would happen if I put my Restore CD from the manufacture in ?

Or, start a new Career ?

OK, I did a TEST patrol with a "New" career, and was able to get past the previous crash point and get to Helgoland. So apparently my previous career save's where corrupted by the SP2 Res Fix.

BTW, where is the Wiki on this. It's not under the name as the download name"SP2 Res Fix" I got from Mav and UBWA 2.0. I should read up on this, to prevent further misshaps.
