asked on

procedure entry point NtFsControlFile could not be located...?

On an WinXP box, every time we go to open any app, we get a message, "procedure entry point NtFsControlFile could not be located..."  and I can't find much of anything written about this one out on the interwebs.  Opening "My Computer" or "My Network Places" doesn't bring the error up.

Any ideas?  If there's a solution short of re-RISing the machine I'd like to know.  Thanks.

Turns out that without a good NTDLL.DLL file I couldn't even bring up a comand line window, so I took out the HD, put it in another working machine, dragged over a copy of the file, reinstalled the HD, and then I could run sfc.exe - and as far as I can tell it was successful.

Thanks for the info on the file name...since you wrote first (and so far are the only one who has) you get the points.
No worries.
Glad it was that simple, but don't know what would have replaced NTDLL.DLL though.
