C0000135 Error, Unable to locate DLL

[Brian Randall]

How do I fix this? I restarted my machine after doing a
windows update. I get an error message " STOP: C0000135
Unable to locate DLL. The dynamic link library Winsrv
could not be found in the specified path Default Load
Path. Please help.

I had exactly the same thing happening to me! Last friday,
after installing the latest Windows Update and restarting
my computer, I lost access to my entire machine, no
winsrv.dll could be found. After hours of working with the
windowsCD and the repair option (that did not work, thank
god I have another machine running win2K so I could scoop
out the dll's and so on and put them on cd and feed them
to the other machine) I could log on again, but... I was
absolutely floored to find out that my partition E had
been renamed to D, and that my CD drive had been renamed
E! A lot of programs don't work and can't be uninstalled.
I think I'll have to format the whole machine...

I backed out KB82414 using the recovery console and No
more c0000135 stop.

thanks,
i just reload windows 2000 on it, but good to know if it happens again
once the updates gets put back on. i'm going to go remove it from the
approved updates on SUS.

I am going to try that out this weekend. I still have to
work this week and I have never done this before. Don't
say it's because I'm a girl, but I am a bit nervous about
it. This machine is important to me since I work from
home!

Sorry I have a typo. It is KB824141. Go to recovery
console. cd to winnt directory. Find the directory
$NtUninstallKB824141$. cd to it. cd to spuninst.
type in

batch spuninst.bat

Can you explain how have you backed out the fix?

My system has winsrv.dll in the proper location and it's
the correct size when compared with a "working" system. I
loaded the october update and get the stop C0000135 cannot
locate winsrv.dll error.

Last time this happened, the win2k CD fixed it.

What's the root cause of this? KB82414 ?
