My PC, RIP

My PC died this morning. It looks pretty nasty:

STOP: c0000135 {Unable To Locate DLL}
The dynamic link library winsrv could not be found in the specified path Default Load Path

I smell a disk failure - there were funny noises coming from my PC yesterday, which I'd reported to PC support.

Ah well, it was backed up, and I've get the notebook.

Shouldn't it have been fixed by now?

Nope, in my case, it was a hardware failure.

Crissy,
The same thing has happened to me when I did the latest windows Update. Is there a solution..??

Ok I seem to have found a cause and solution. after installing the KB835732 patch (on my Windows 2000 box) my pc started rebooting after a quick blue screen.

after hours of testing and screaming it appears that for some reason it is caused by the KERNEL32.DLL that is loaded by the patch. (why it happens on some pc's and not other I haven't figured out but i will)

Solution:
create a .txt file on a floppy with this line in it.

COPY "C:\WINNT\$NtUninstallKB835732$\kernel32.dll" "c:\winnt\system32\kernel32.dll"

use the boot disketts or cd to get to the "repair console". insert the floppy and type:
batch a:\"file name".txt

this should replace the Kernel32.dll with the old one. remove the floppy and type exit.

hopefully this should do it.

please let me know if this helps anyone. knowing that this works for other computers will help me with my research. (if this works on XP please let me know that too.)

Peace,
QF

Hi,

i have the same prob. But if i run the bootdiskets he says that:
A:\keyb.nl,, keybrd2.sys
Invalid keyboard code specified.

If I want to go to C:\ so i can batch the txt file it says that C is a invalid drive.

Anyone a solution??
