I'm trying to find out why a Windows 2000 machine has the error "The procedure entry point RtlUnhandledExceptionFilter could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll." As of now, I guess it is related to uxtheme.dll. According to what I have found, uxtheme.dll is for Windows XP and Windows 2003. Is that any application which will install uxtheme.dll onto a Windows 2000 machine?

1. Search for the file UXTheme.dll.
2. If found, rename to Uxtheme.old

There are many 3rd parties programs that install that file: ex: Trillian.

Hi PC Wiz,

Are you saying that those application such as Trillian will install that uxtheme.dll on Windows 2000 server even that dll is for Windows XP and Windows 2003?

Thanks for your help.

I found many instances where users installed Trillian or other applications that caused similar problems related to UXTheme.dll.

I dont have an exact answer at this moment , but mostlikely some other applications or patches installed the UXTheme.dll on the system.

The only way I could find out , is to setup a w2k box, search the system to make sure that the file is not present, then try to install Trillian and see if the UXTheme.dll shows up.
