Problem with NTDLL.DLL

C

Chefry

I got a problem that started poping up a few weeks ago. Actually, it's not so much a
problem as it is an annoyance. A couple of weeks ago I started getting the following popup
error when I launch a program. It doesn't seem to affect anything though, because clicking
OK gets rid of the box and the program then launches and operates without problems.

"The procedure entry point RtlUnhandledExceptionFilter could not be located in the dynamic
link library NTDLL.DLL"

Any ideas, any way to fix this? I tried replacing ntdll.dll but it's one of the first
things Win2000 Pro loads so it's always running

I am having the exact same pop up with my programs as well. I hav
downloaded a new ntdll.dll and copied it to my System and System 3
directories, however it has not helped - it actually is worse - now
get two or three popups with the same message which is sooo annoying.

Can somebody please help?

Thanks

Hi

Maybe this will help:

Problem:
=========

"The procedure entry point RtlUnhandledExceptionFilter could not be located
in the dynamic link library NTDLL.DLL"

Resolution:
==========
To resolve this behavior, perform one of the following steps:
1. Search for the file UXTheme.dll. (usually in c:\winnt\system32)
2. If found, rename to Uxtheme.old

That DLL appears to be overriding an API entry point in Windows2000 for
some other function, which then (through that DLL) requires the
RtlUnhandledExceptionFilter, which doesn't exist.

Additional Information: These errors might also be caused by spyware or a
trojan/virus, so if you cannot find these files, scan for spyware/ viruses.
