Help! SH3 won't start and shows ntll.dll error...

Hi Scire.

Last ditch effort here.

When you reinstalled SH3, did you reinstall DirectX that came with the disc? If so, make sure you have the latest version installed by checking MS Update.

Also, how much RAM are you running and is your Pagefile large enough.

@ Firewall

If your sig is to be believed, you have no problem with RAM, so the same question to you about DirectX. Also, answer the requests in your other thread.

Bloody hell guys, I'm scraping the bottom here if this doesn't work. The only thing I would suggest after trying the above is a full removal of SH3, run a reg cleaner, run a system checker (either System File Checker or 3rd party), full 3rd party defrag (not windows own), spyware scan and virus sweep. Then check GFX card is seated correctly, also check you RAM sticks and that your case is free from dust. Nothing short of a full systems check really.

@ Scire

I have no doubt that your Kernel error and the following ntdll.dll errors have been caused by the removal of SH3 and the following corruption of these files is a direct result of that but there's so many things that can cause these issues within the windows shell.
