Hi ya,
Yep i also noticed that there are many people getting this ntdll.dll error, but no one has been up able to solve the issue, see i think XP works fine when SP1a and the critical updates have not been installed on the system, but as we are all aware of now that if we dont install them we are acceptable to all sort of exploits.
My personal theory on this ntdll.dll case is when a person installs either sp1a or critical updates, it changes the version of the ntdll.dll file. This is because it had exploit, now thats all good fixing a buffer over run problem, but leaves this problem with Windows Explorer crashing on users, which is kinda annoying. I really do hope Microsoft are looking into the problem, so far i did try to install there sp2 beta after a fresh format of XP and still the problems occured, which basically says to me they havent addressed the issue as yet in beta stage. Im no expert in this field but its so dam annoying.
As for wether it is anything to do with AMD or Intel CPU's well i have to say ive only seen this occur on AMD based machines, I would love to hear some people with Intel based systems with this problem, i personally think its got nothing to do with either CPU systems but hey you never know unless you ask.
Just to let everyone know i can reproduce this error on many AMD chipsets, in all i have tested 4 chipsets, they are via, ali, sis and nforce 2 chipsets and they all reproduce the same ntdll.dll error in windows explorer. And also i tried many versions of the chipset drivers (ranging from old to new). When i test the systems i usually disable all the unnessary bios settings such as all the ports and any integrated device such as sound or video. And generally just have the Video card only installed, so no other devices are installed. Also no other external devices are being used, the only time when i use an external device is my Alcatel ADSL modem which i use to connect to the net.
Im totally stuck people, id love to hear more of your comments and thoughts about this issue and any kinda fix for it.
Thank you
