The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Vista error 0xc0190036 (IMTCCAC.DLL) on boot after SP1 install

Asked by sefton-computer-repairs in Windows Vista

Tags: vista sp1 boot install recovery

Oh Vista, why do you vex me so...!

Hi everyone. If this were XP then I'd have it sorted now & be drinking coffee but this is a bit of a pain for me & I'm wondering if there's a shortcut that I don't know about.

I'd finished doing some other work on a Vista Laptop (a HP Pavilion, not that that matters) and noticed that there was an update waiting to be ok'd. (SP1 as it happens).

So in a bout of generosity before handing it back, I thought "I'll just install that & job's a good 'un". Right...

Reboot after the install & the boot hangs with 0xc0190036 (IMTCCAC.DLL).

It seems that this problem is probably linked to the file originally being corrupted prior to the SP1 install but I'm at a loss to resolve this without nuking the machine. I really don't want to lose the user's data off this one or I'm going to look really bad. (I suppose I could pull it off using a Linux boot CD but I'd rather not go there if it can be avoided).

I have tried using system restore from within system recovery options. It just hangs.

I have tried doing chkdsk c: /r from the system recovery options command prompt. It did report "deleting index entry imtccac.dll in index $130 of file 9550" and "recovering orphaned file imtccac.dll into directory file 9550" but the same error repeats on next boot.

If it were XP I'd be doing a repair install now to overlay the system files but with Vista I'm now a bit wary or which way to go now.

There's no sign of IMTCCAC.DLL in c:\windows\system32 incidentally.

Any ideas on how to get round this? I'd like to at least get it up & working before dealing with the possible HD issues.

Many thanks - Duncan
