My applications crash with an ntdll.dll error when starting up.

Every time I try to run an opengl program the application crashes. If I'm compiling it myself it usually crashes before it executes the first instruction in main. When I try to debug I get a segmentation fault error. When I do a backtrace I get a value/function called "_end__()" at some memory address. I really need to fix this problem, can anyone help. I really have no Idea why it's doing this so it's hard for me to narrow down the possibilities. I have the latest graphics card drivers and just don't know where to look.

When I do get the "send error report" message I get a message saying that the Mod is "ntdll.dll" on pretty much all of them. If I can't find a solution I'm just going to have to reformat.

If PC is ok in Safe Mode, it probably is a software problem. Try removing recent downloads?
In my search it doesn't look good. Other help may do better.

I did a repair install and did the latest upgrades, and I don't remember installing anything recently that has replicated the problem.

Have you tried getting support/advice from the company that does Terrain Project?

I do terrain project It's a program I'm developing, a small practice program with opengl (GLFW and GLEW to be exact). But every other opengl Program didn't work (yes past tense).

I found the problem to be ATI Catalyst driver 7.5. I did a clean (program files and registry) of the 7.5 drivers and reverted to 7.4, and it works. I want to contact ATI but can't find a direct email for them to tell them the problem. I hear from several people that opengl has problems with catalyst 7.5. Hopefully they'll upgrade the drivers soon.
