Hi,

Every time I open 2003 Outlook, I get this error message "The procedure entry point LdrLockLoaderLock could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll"

Please advise on how to fix this error.

Thank you.

1. Unregister msctf.dll using the command "Regsvr32 /u
msctf.dll"

2. Rename both msctf.dll and ctfmon.exe to .old
extensions.

3. Repair Office

Thank you for your quick response

When I run the "Regsvr32 /umsctf.dll" command in CMD, I get a message "LoadLibrary ("msctf.dll") failed. The specified procedure could not be found.

I've installed MS 2003 Office Pro 3 weeks ago, and so after, I ran into the LoaderLock error.

Did you upgrade from office 2000? If so back up your data and uninstall office completely. Also delete any folders in program files with reference to office and restart. Install office again, download the latest service packs and import your data back, lets see what happens.

If you need help backing up the data or anything else just reply to this post.
