The application is misinterpreting the operating system version and is trying to call a procedure in the Windows 9x/ME version of the Dynamic Link Library that is unavailable in Windows NT(2000/XP) versions. I assume that you are using Windows XP? Have you tried up[censored] your codecs, drivers and Windows itself?

Try playing around with map,fixboot,fixmbr and bootcfg /rebuild. And copy nt boot loader files to 'new' c: copy CDROM:\i386\ntldr C:\ copy CDROM:\i386\ntdetect.com C:\ Or just perform repair installation.

Does this happen also in safe mode? If not, then there can be somekind software conflict, perhaps with shell extensions. When this started to happen? Have you installed/removed anything lately?

Awesome reply to 6 years old thread!

After battling with ubuntu, kubuntu and debian (did not like my wireless usb keyboard + ps/2 mouse combo, or something like that), I decided to download and install Fedora Core 5. I downloaded DVD version(so no CD swapping) using bittorrent, burned iso, backed up and rebooted... First it did not boot from it. BIOS was too impatient to wait for DVD start spinning and loading. So back in Win, reboot. This time F8 (BBS key) to rescue. Choosed DVD drive and this time it booted from it and greeted me with installer screen. Older versions of FC had problems for starting graphical installer for me, so I entered: linux resolution=1024x768 nofb This have worked always for me and so it did this time, too. Installing was easy. Choosed unpartioned space (installer detected right my SATA and PATA drives), created swap and / partitions. GRUB went to MBR nicely. After about 20 minutes, installation was complete. Reboot. Grub loaded and showed right boot menu with XP and FC on it. Choosed FC. ****, it was FAST. Less than minute: linux desktop. Now excuse me, back to Fedora Core.

Is Server-service running? Try enabling it, if it is not running.

Quote: 1. Open device manager (SCSI/RAID Controllers section) and delete SCSI controller with name corresponding with name of Daemon driver (miniport driver name). If you have problems doing it (eg. system crashes) then start from step 3 (skip steps 1 and 2). 2. Open device manager (System devices section) and delete device with driver corresponding with Daemon driver (bus driver name). In current versions of Daemon Tools it is 'PnP BIOS Extension' but most likely it may change in next versions. Again, if you have some problems doing it, skip this step 3. Find Daemon driver files in Windows\System32\Drivers folder (in Win95/98/ME also check Windows\System\IOSUBSYS folder). Make sure your system is configured to display system files (ControlPanel->Tools->FolderOptions->View) in order you can see them. Delete Daemon driver files. 4. In WinNT/2000/XP/2003 open registry editor and check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services for entries with same names as Daemon driver files. Delete these keys. 5. Reboot your system. If you executed steps 1 and 2 then you don't need to do anything anymore. Otherwise proceed to next step. 6. Go to device manager - you may see some device with yellow mark. This is most likely Daemon device which cannot start because it's drivers are deleted. Delete this device from Device Manager.

Try this: Code: ftp -A -s:symantec.txt instead of this: Code: ftp -A -s symantec.txt So in your batch file: Code: ftp -A -s:symantec.txt and in symantec.txt: Code: open ftp.symantec.comcd AVDEFS/norton_antivirus_xdbbinarymget *.xdbquit

Start->Run: cmd dir "C:\Myfolder\My stuff\*.*" /B > list.txt This creates new text file called list to current dir. forgot /B. [Edited by Wilhelmus on 2006-03-24 08:14:34]

Get Memtest86+, burn it to CD and boot from it. Let the test run for couple hours. One error is too much.

Error code 000000ea = "THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER" Error code 0000000a = "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" There is something wrong with your drivers? Try reinstalling drivers for your graphics card and the xdsl modem, if any. And see if there's any updates in Microsoft/Windows Update.

Start->Run: dxdiag Select tab "Sound". Turn down the "Hardware Accelerator Level" by one. Try running again the game.

Do you have the XP CD (no recovery cd)? If you don't, borrow from friend or somewhere. Then boot from the CD, enter recovery console and run command suggested by tschrock.

What about latest drivers from ATI: Catalyst 6.3 Windows XP - Driver Download.

Do you run the game in compatiblity mode?

Have you tried patching it? 1) Try registering the codec first then launching the game: Start->Run: regsvr32 "c:\your\path\to\thief\LGVID.AX" where c:\your\path\to\thief\ matches your own path. Then launch the game. 2) Try downloading and installing this: Windows XP Patch: Game Stops Responding or Quits Unexpectedly When Introductory Video Clip Is Played. 3) Try downloading and installing Alternate Thief Movie Codecs: http://www.thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=876 taken from: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75031

Try copying the contents of the CDs/DVD to your hard drive and installing from there.

Try CDex: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/

Have you checked that the CD is not dirty/scratched? Have you tried running setup application in compatibility mode? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/appcompat.mspx (From that "Windows cannot open this file": is the file extension bin, cue, iso, mdf, mds? In other words, is this legit game?)

Do you get (valid) IP, dns, gateway addresses from your ISP? Start->Run: cmd ipconfig /all

If you do not have anything important data in your partitions, you can delete them during XP setup.
