Replacement/repair "comctl32.dll".

Comctl32.dll is the DLL that controls Windows Open/Save dialog boxes under. After having run the checker system, he found no errors, but given that from now the applications crash randomly as he tried to use the open/save dialog box under created with this dll, I have reason to believe that it has become damaged or corrupted. I have versions of this dll from earlier settled on my computer saved in winsxs but am at a loss to understand how I can replace this dll file and return once the functionality of my open/save dialog boxes under.

I just want to say: I solved the problem on my own.

I found the solution quite by chance, when I wanted to learn how to change the recent places bar.

It's really very simple:

The instructions were to change the registry for topics comdlg32. Problem was, I did not AT ALL of this key - it appears as if he was devastated. If after following the instructions on restoring these keys, I had a little look at what other keys were supposed to be there. There were three keys (mentioned in the link below) and were absent. So I'm back all.

The registry key and all of its entries that were missing are as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
   Software
      Microsoft
         Windows
            CurrentVersion
               Policies
                  Comdlg32

And that's my dialog boxes began to work again, with absolutely NO ill effects.

Believe me, I'll be very careful about the use of a registry cleaner in the future.

    =============================================================================
    There are different ways that ntdll.dll errors can appear on your computer.
    Ntdll.dll errors can be caused by a number of different things that translate into many different error messages, but some of the more common ones are listed below:

    • "STOP: 0xC0000221 unknown hard error C:\Winnt\System32\Ntdll.dll.
    • "STOP: C0000221 error material unknown \SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll.
    • "AppName: [NAME OF PROGRAM] ModName: ntdll.dll.
    • "[PROGRAM NAME] has caused an error in module NTDLL. DLL at [FULL ADDRESS]"
    • "Crash caused in ntdll.dll!
    • "NTDLL. DLL error! »
    • «Unhandled exception address [ANY] (NTDLL.» (DLL).

    Ntdll.dll error messages can appear before or after a program is used, while a program is ongoing, when Windows is started or stopped, or even during a Windows installation.

    Cause of Ntdll.dll errors
    The causes of ntdll.dll error messages can vary considerably. However, most of the ntdll.dll errors result from a corrupted or damaged file ntdll.dll version itself, corrupt hardware drivers, or issues between Windows and other programs.
    Ntdll.dll errors can sometimes mean that a piece of hardware in your computer is faulty, but this is rare.

    How to fix Ntdll.dll errors:

    1. Restart your computer: the ntdll.dll error you receive may be due to a one-time, temporary issue and a simple reboot may solve the problem completely.
    2. Reinstall the program if the ntdll.dll error only when you use a program.

      If the software updates or service packs available, install them too. Software programmers may have identified an issue with the program that caused the ntdll.dll error and then issues a patch.

    Note: Software of third party that have been installed on your computer are almost always the cause of errors in ntdll.dll. The rest of these troubleshooting steps to solve the problems of ntdll.dll that rarely.

  • Check the windows service pack level you use, and consult the Microsoft support site to see if there is a service available for installing the newest pack. Some of the issues that caused the ntdll.dll errors have been corrected in these service packs from Microsoft.
  • Disable Add-ons from Internet Explorer selectively: If your ntdll.dll error appears when you start, run or close Internet Explorer, an add-on may be causing the problem. Deactivation of each module, one by one, will determine what add-on is the culprit (if any).

    Note: As a solution, assuming that the ntdll.dll error is really Internet Explorer related, install and use a competing browser like Firefox.

  • Rename the NLSPATH system variable: If your Windows system does not have this environment variable, skip this step.

    Note: It is a step of troubleshooting for this issue only. Don't forget to put this way its original name, if this does not solve the problem of ntdll.dll.

  • Turn off the Data Execution Prevention for Explorer.exe: as in the previous step, this is for troubleshooting only the question of ntdll.dll. If this does not resolve the problem, return the Data Execution Prevention settings to their previous settings.
  • Update the drivers for any hardware in your computer where the updated drivers are available. Out-of-date drivers sometimes cause errors of ntdll.dll.
  • Test your memory for damage: If you receive messages from ntdll.dll, one possible cause could be a memory module in your system. Test your memory will be either identify a problem or clear your RAM from liability.

    Replace your memory in the event of failure of your tests.

  • Ntdll.dll errors may occur if you have an Iomega Zip drive on the same IDE cable as the hard drive inside your computer. If so, move the Zip drive to a dedicated IDE controller.
  • Replace the IDE cable connect the hard drive to the motherboard. If this cable is damaged or defective, one of the symptoms could be the ntdll.dll error you see.
  • Repair your Windows installation: If the resettlement of individual software fail to solve the problem, a Windows repair installation overwrites the ntdll.dll file.
  • Perform a new installation of Windows: a new installation will completely remove Windows from your PC and reinstall from scratch. I do not recommend this option unless you have exhausted all the previous troubleshooting ideas and you are comfortable that the ntdll.dll error is not caused by a single program (step 2).

    Note: If a single program or plugin causes the ntdll.dll, reinstalling Windows and then reinstall all the software even can lead you right to the same ntdll.dll error.

  • Although extremely rare, if everything else failed, including the facility clean at the last step, you might be dealing with a hardware problem with your hard drive.

    If so, replace the hard disk and then perform a new installation of Windows.

    I have Windows 7, with 3 missing .dll files.  I tried a number of programs that claim to difficulty and install missing .dll files.  In all cases, the program will download, then when you click 'Finish', it gives you a message that it cannot install the program because I'm missing .dll files.  It's true!  That's why I'm bringing them reinstalled!  3 missing files are: MSVC90.dll and COMCTL32.dll gdiplus.dll.  Any ideas?  Thank you. * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    Hello RonBrett,

    I suggest you to install the msvcr90.dll which is a party, if the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 redistributable package.
    Click on the article below that describe the run-time components in Visual C++.
    326922 KB - Redistribution of the shared C runtime in Visual C++ component

    You must keep all the different versions of Visual C++ 2005, 2008 and 2010, because different programs need these packages installed. The Microsoft Visual C++ 225, 2008, install the redistributable Packages components runtime library Visual C++ required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2005, 2008 or 2010 is installed. The Msvcr90.dll is included in Microsoft Visual C++ 2008.

    Download the Package redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 (x 86)
    Click to download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x 64)then, run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt system.

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Reboot your system.

    Now see if you get the same error message for missing .dll files.

    Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

  • Satellite P200 - 17 c - Vista won't start up - how replace/repair boot.ini

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba P200 - 17 c of the vista computer and it won't start, freezes on the splash screen. I have
    used iso image to boot from and ran repair disk, makes no difference.
    Machine will not get beyond microsoft loading page (with yellowish scroll bar).

    My question is: How can I replace / repair the boot.ini file to get the machine to start or disable all applications / drivers for applications in order to get the machine to start.

    I have not (my fault) create a back up or restore disk.
    After booting the machine from cd, system repair running and try to run the system restore doesn't work...

    Can anyone advise on a way to replace/repair boot.ini or turn off the drivers?

    Try to avoid to pay another £30 pounds for a recovery disc that I already paid for the licensed software, don't know why.
    If you pay because you do not get a copy of Vista with machine...

    Anyway any help would be most appreciated.

    Hello

    > How to replace / repair the boot.ini file to get the machine to start or disable all applications / drivers for applications in order to get the machine to start.
    I doubt that this could be done under Vista cannot modify the boot.ini as on Win XP OS.
    To edit the boot.ini file you must use the BCDEDIT command.
    However, I put t think it would start the Vista correctly.

    In my opinion you have two options;
    You can use the safe mode and might attempt to start the Vista slim or you have to reinstall the entire operating system yet.
    But I doubt you'll be able to start in safe mode if the system repair and system restore didn't work too.

    So in my opinion the last real solution could be the new facility.

    Not sure when this happened, but I am unable to open Adobe Reader 10.  The error indicates the fault module to be Comctl32.dll, specifically,
