VDMDBG.DLL Missing!!!!!

[Anthony]

I've got a problem with my CTRL+ALT+DEL.
It gives me a message box saying

Unable To Locate Component.
"The application has failed to start because VDMDBG.DLL
was not found. Re-installing the application may fix
this problem."

I have another windows XP computer, and copied the file
from the %system% folder, and tried to register it on
this computer with the regsrv32 function, and got this

VDMDBG.DLL was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry
point was not found.

VDMDBG.DLL does not appear to be a .DLL or .OCX file.

When I hold CTRL+ALT+DEL, it says
Entry point not found
"The procedure entry point VDMEnumTaskWOWEx could not be
located in the dynamic link labrary VDMDBG.dll."

It would be of very great assistance if you help me with
this major problem.
Thank you,
Anthony

Might want to try registering it
Start, Run and type "cmd"
then at teh command prompt, type "regsvr32 VDMDBG.DLL"

See if that helps

It's a normal dll not a com dll. Therefore it can't be registered and doesn't need registeration. That particular function call was in NT4 so it's not a file version problem. Type sfc /scannow to make sure you have your correct file. Search for other files of that name, make sure there is only 1 (there maybe one in dllcache folder- then 2 copies are fine). Make sure you don't have a 98 version of that file.

Hey, Thanks alot, the sfc /scannow didnt work, even
though it looked like it would, but i never tried
searching the dll cache. When I typed dllcache in my run
box, i found it there easily, and replaced it.

Thank You
