SYMPTOMS

If you try to start certain programs after you install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 (SP5) on a computer that is 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 Adressbereich 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.
