Mozilla Unable to Locate verify.dll and crashes

I'm running Mozilla 1.7.11 on Windows NT. In the last few days, Mozilla will crash any time I visit a site that uses certain types of javascript.The error message that pops up before crashing has the title "mozilla.exe - Unable to Locate DLL" and reads " The dynamic link library verify.dll could not be found in the specified path", and then it proceeds to list several paths, including system folders, mozilla folders.

I haven't modified my computer's settings, and it seems to be free of spyware. Is there a particular Java download on this site that I should simply install and re-run to replace or update the verify.dll file? Or should I manually try to find the file online and upload it somewhere to my PC?

Beats me. However, here is some ideas:

I suggest upgrading Mozilla to the latest version. It might automatically download the verify.dll file. If not, delete Mozilla and reinstall the lastest Mozilla version from scratch. If you reciently installed Microsoft Vista, it appears that the verify.dll may have been left out, therefore download verify.dll off the web and install it where it says, dont have to reinstall Mozilla. Good luck!

Upgrading or Reinstalling Mozilla at this time wouldn't be an option. I didn't install Vista, I'm still running Windows NT (Windows 2000). I haven't installed, removed or replaced any software on my PC lately, so I'm not sure why Mozilla can't find the file in question.

Internet Explorer is also crashing when I visit a site which requires Java, so it's not relative to Mozilla.

I reinstalled Java and am still getting verify.dll error messages.
