ntdll.dll , Anyone know what this is ? - Page 2

Well my last Idea did not work. I need to purchase the whole program to repair those files, that will have to wait, but very nice program to have.

Thanks Lzs von swe, I hope I was able to Restore the file(with Webroot Spysweeper), looks like the Advertismen found in Nortnon and Webroot, was low risk and was not going to transmit to 3rd party. It was also located to the registry keys, which I guess would be the same location of ntdll.dll. So, I restored the quarantined item, and will see if this solves the problem.

I decided to restore it after what JScones said "
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).".

I do happen to have an original Windows XP CD from the manufacturer, and will leave that option for last. I did not know I could install it over the existing Windows install, that is nice to know. I would hate to loose all my pictures and documents by doing a complete system recovery.

Thanks a million.

OK, now I'm confused. I loaded up an older Career in my UBWA 2.0 install(the one I had the problem with), and that particular career , I am based at Kiel(Problem career was Wilhelmshaven), and I was able to leave Kiel no problem. So, Now I will attemp to Start a new Career in Kiel, and not Wilhelmshaven, and see what happens.

Update : No go on that. I'm gonna reinstall.

I have not seen any error reports for a long time now (touch wood), but that looks a bit strange. Were are the buttons to send or do not send?
Have you tried Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoft.de/ ? It would surely find any spyware and clean your drive.
But sometimes the only thing to do is to reformat the drive (or use recovery CD).

...have to go, my family is already standing in the door, rle calling.

My system also often crashed with the .dll problem, in my case the problem seems to be some corrupted/wrong sound files. When I used stock SH3 files and NO sound mods the crashes stopped.

Cheers, AS

I already pressed Click Here at the bottom next to Send/Don't Send, this is the next screen to the report.

BTW, I have Webroot Spysweeper and Norton Internet Security 2006, but maybe I'll give that Lavasoft Scan a try. Thanks.

I'm really getting sick of this, a 3 day weekend, and all three days spent troubleshooting this stupid problem. And my Flotilla starts a new patrol today.

Yes, frustrating ain't it? I have almost thrown my machine through the window at some points!

One thing, as this .dll is involved in the graphics (ie as other APIs call its functions). Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/B...n&categoryid=2 and reinstall/update your DirectX and also reinstall/update your graphics card drivers. Many times the strangest errors and crashes comes from some drivers being corrupt.
