Ntmarta.dll File in German SP5 Has Conflicting Base Address

ID: Q240358

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 SP5
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0 SP5
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 SP5

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to start certain programs after you install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 (SP5) on a computer running the German localized version of Windows NT, you may receive the following error message:

Illegale Verschiebung einer System-DLL
Die System-DLL "ole32.dll" wurde im Speicher verschoben. Die Anwendung wird nicht einwandfrei ausfuhrbar sein. Die Datei wurde verschoben, da die DLL "C:\WINNT\system32\NTMARTA.DLL" einen AdreBbereich belegt, der fur Windows NT-System-DLLs reserviert ist. Besorgen Sie sich vom DLL-Lieferanten eine neue DLL.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Ntmarta.dll file has a default load address that conflicts with the load address of the Ole32.dll file. This is only a problem when the Ntmarta.dll file is loaded before the Ole32.dll file.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Windows NT 4.0 service pack that contains this fix.
