PC will not boot. Error is as below
STOP: C000135 ( Unable to locate DLL)
The dynamic link library WINSRV could not be found
in the specified default load path.

This has come up before and the only way I could get the system up and running wasto rebuild the machine. Is there an easier way ?.

Reference Microsoft article Q 173309, "Blue Screen STOP Message C0000135 Appears at Startup"

This error can occur for any of the following reasons:

File_name.dll is missing from the %SystemRoot%\system32 directory.

Your computer is loading the Sermouse.sys file.

If File_Name.dll exists, the software hive may be corrupted and, therefore, cannot load.

See the whole article with proposed resolutions at the following link:

Good luck,
