sttray.exe - Entry Point Not Found

Hi All,

 

I've just had to reload XP on my PC and now when I logon I get the error message;

 

"sttray.exe - Entry Point Not Found"

"The procedure entry point LocalizeString could not be located in the dynamic link library STLang.dll" 

 

I have tried reloading the SigmaTel Audio driver from the Dell web site, but I still get the error message.

 

PC- Desktop Dimension 9200

Windows XP with Service Pack 3

 

Grateful for any advice,

 

Thanks in advance

    Sounds like you did a dirty install of XP instead of a clean install.

     

    Dirty = Install XP overtop the old installation

     

    Clean =  Delete C partition during setup and then create new C partition to install XP on.

     

    Did you install from a XP CD?

    Hi Mombodog,

     

    Yes it was a "Dirty" install. The Dell restore feature in your link to won't start up, I guess re installing XP has changed something. If it helps, the sttray.exe error message only started after I had reloaded the SigmaTel audio driver to get the sound card working again.

     

    Cheers

    " I guess re installing XP has changed something"     It could be possible you don't have the restore partition

     

    You can repair this if you do have the partition.

    I would go to add/remove programs and see if the sigmatel driver software is listed, if it is, uninstall it, then reboot and re-install the latest version for XP from Dell, reboot again.

    Thanks Mombodog,

     

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling using a driver from the Dell web site has fixed it, at least I don't get the error message any more!

     

    Cheers
