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 Ntmarta.dll has a default load address that conflicts with the load address of Ole32.dll.
