Hey all,
I have recently been having an endless reboot loop on a very old laptop of which I know little about the specs.
(It is running XP Professional SP2, Sony Vaio, pentium III). I downloaded the recovery console tool and burned it to a CD, can get to the command line and then try to run chkdsk /r. However, I receive the following blue screen message after trying this:
STOP: c0000139 {Entry Point Not Found}
The procedure entry point LdrSetMUICacheType could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll.
I have no problem with reformatting the laptop completely as there is nothing of much use on it, however, no XP CD came with the system and so I have been trying to solve this error through the recovery console. Recently I tried to copy a new version of ntdll.dll from C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\ after renaming the version in C:\Windows\System32\
This I tried after searching around for a solution and saw a similar error with this solution marked as possible. However, the blue screen still persists. Safe Mode refuses to boot also.
Any help would be much appreciated, I hope there is enough information for someone a lot smarter than me to be able to shed some light on this.
Thanks a lot!
