I need help with CsrNewThread/ntdll.dll error. I will NOT download a registry cleaner.?

October 15, 2009

Okay, whenever I open up certain programs, I get the error message:

[Program Name] – Entry Point Not Found

"The procedure entry point CsrNewThread could not be located in the dynamic library entry ntdll.dll."

My OS is Windows Vista 64-bit. I CAN’T run any registry cleaners, so do NOT suggest them.

I’m looking for more of a manual fix. Like downloading the ntdll.dll file and placing it where it needs to go for example in folders like:
System32
SysWOW64

I’ve already tried both of those, are there any other locations where ntdll.dll needs to be?

Other info will also be helpful, such as more information about CsrNewThread, I know nothing of its purpose or whether it has a location on my laptop.

how to wipe / clean up computer? hard drive?

October 7, 2009

i’ve had my latptop for about a year, and there’s a few minor annoying problems with it, when i hit shift key sometimes everything cap locks, recently, i keep getting a blue screen that says i must shut down, supposedly a ‘serious error;’ and my computer might have viruses, adware, spyware, etc; i’m thinking easiest way is to buy a protable hard drive, transfer all data there, and wipe out my laptop(how do this?), and then transfer files from protable drive back to laptop; however, if i have installed software such as photoshop, will this be erased also? any other ways to clean up computer?

How do I access Comcast/McAffee virus protection after Antivirus 2009 was removed by Malwarebytes?

October 2, 2009

I used a thumb drive and installed Malwarebytes onto my laptop and it removed the Antivirus 2009. Now I can surf the web, get windows updates and things I couldnt do before. But, when I go to get Mcafee from comcast something blocks the page from being viewed. How can I get around this to access virus protection?

How could the files in my Vista user profile disappear only to be found by data recovery software?

October 2, 2009

Here is my situation. I was surfing the web on my two year old Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop with Windows Vista when the computer froze and locked up. I could not click on anything or do anything. I restarted the computer. As it restarted the Windows Startup Repair window came up. It scanned my computer and found errors that it could not fix automatically. It told me that there was no operating system installed. I went online and troubleshot the computer as best as I could. I did not want to lose the information on my hard drive so I went out and bought a new one and installed Windows Vista on it. After two months, no problems. I ordered a case and USB connector for the old hard drive. When I plugged it in to the computer and looked inside the files I was stunned. All the files under my username were gone. Windows said the folder was empty. How could this be? I found data recovery software that scanned my old hard drive and was able to recover all my files. The files were only lost; they were sitting on the hard drive but could not be accessed except after the data recovery software did its job. I have been trolling the web looking for answers. Can anyone explain why or how this could have happened? What can be done to prevent this from happening again?

Windows XP install wont load past a certain point, can you help me?

October 1, 2009

Its a laptop, that had some kind of Windows test version, I guess the one right before they came out with Vista, because that’s what it looks like. It says "Windows 2007 Test version only". So I was just gonna get rid of it. I have a New Windows I wanted to load onto it.

It boots alright, starts to load some of the drivers, get to the screen where it asks you if you want to repair press x, install press ENTER.

Before I have the time to press install, the whole thing shuts down.
Every time.

Can you help me?

The stats:
Computer = Compaq Presario V2000
Software = Windows XP Home Edition (not a rip, store bought)
lol Can you explain how to do that innnnnn Simple Terms?

But its also not Vista. Its a Test Version of Windows 2007, that looks and acts like Vista. It says on the bottom of the screen

"Windows 7
For testing purposes only. Build 7000"
Also, the laptop may have a nasty virius from the previous owner. It shuts off if I boot from CD, but also Ive found, if I do disk clean up, the laptop will shut down as well. I think theres something protecting it self. Am I crazy lol
