Hello,

Here is some general info on troubleshooting errors of this type:

TITLE: How To Troubleshoot "Entry Point Not Found" Err [SRWINNT ]

*** Problem Description ***
This SO applies to all versions of Windows.

When installing or starting Microsoft or third party software or booting
Windows
you may see the following type of error:

<FileName1> - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point <SeeminglyRandomStringofWords> could not be
located in
the dynamic link library <FileName2>



Errors of this type occur when the the first file is looking for code inside
of the
other file that does not exist, usually because the second file is older
than the
first.

For example a Service Pack may have updates for 2 files, Winlogon.exe and
Advapi32.dll.

There is new code in the file Advapi32.dll (for this example we will use
"LsaOpenPolicySce" as the new code) and Winlogon "calls" that code at logon
and
uses it to perform a task.

If for some reason only Winlogon.exe gets updated to the Service Pack 2
version and
Advapi32.dll remains Service Pack 1 version. You will then get an error
because
Winlogon is making calls to ADVAPI32.dll that do not exist in the older
version of
the file.



The Procedure entry point LsaOpenPolicySce could not be located in the
dynamic
link library ADVAPI32.dll

The resolution for these types of issues is to match the files with the
correct
versions. In this particular example both files need to be Service Pack 2
versions
to function properly.


The Dependancy Walker tool (Depends.exe) can show you what "calls" or
"functions"
are contained within a file.
