task manager will not open-missing dll

[Guest]

When I try to open Task Manager in Windows 2000, I get the following error
message:
The dynamic link library VDMDBG.dll could not be found in the specified path
C:\WINNT\system32;.;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT;
C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32/Wbem.

How can I fix this???

You can download this DLL from here:

http://www.ezgoal.com/channels/developer/f.asp?f=188940

Place it in your Windows\System32 folder

Click START, RUN & type:

regsvr32 VDMDBG.dll & press ENTER

You should get a message that this DLL is registered, click OK & then try to
open TASK MANAGER again

Post your findings here please

I followed your instructions, and when I press enter, I get the following
error message: "VDMBDG.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point
was not found."
"DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of VDMDBG.dll
may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it."

How do I do this??

You can expand a new copy of the DLL from your Windows 2000 install CD-Rom

From a command prompt you can expand the file. An example;

expand E:\I386\VDMDBG.DL_ %windir%\system32\VDMDBG.DLL
would expand a new copy to the \system32 directory.

Also you'll want to use the correct version for the service pack level
you're at. So you may need to extract the file from a service pack.

To extract the service pack files without installing them, execute
J:\W2kSP4\W2KSP4.exe /x
Then when prompted, specify a directory to hold the extracted files.
