Can't load SP2 no newdev.dll
When trying to update Windows XP with service pack 2 I get the error it can’t find the file newdev.dll in C:\windows\system32. When I search for the file it is found in that folder. What should I do? It also says something about using my XP disk which I do have from Dell.
The pop up error says: c:\windows\system32\newdev.dll was loaded but the dll register server entry point was not found. This file can not be registered.
After running sfc scannow it asked me to put in my XP disk and did I want to reload xp or run other tasks and a few other things. Any idea on what I should do now!
Thanks for your help!!!!!!
Sorry, I should have tried it on my machine first; I get the same message. It may be corrupt in which case the SFC should fix it.
If you hold down the Shift key when you put the cd in the scan should run.
Having said all that I believe your install hangup on that specific file may have been caused not by the file it self but that you didn't first disconnect all your peripherals, including a USB mouse if applicable to your system. As well, run an updated scan of AdAware and an online anti-virus scan at housecall.trendmicro.com before the install.
