SYMPTOMS
========

After you apply Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 on a German Windows NT computer,
you may receive the following pop-up error message when you start certain
applications:

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

RESOLUTION
==========
