Help Needed

[newbie]

Hello,

Yesterday I had asked regarding Missing Shared DLL and you were very helpful
in providing information.

The reason I had asked was I cannot use a program installed in my computer.

Program is an interactive program - that is I have to interact with another
server to use the program.

In general the program is working perfectly.

But whenever I am trying to use a tab in the window which is meant for
getting information from the server following window opens with heading:
"explore.exe - Entry Point Not Found"

In the box following dialog is written: "the procedure entry point could
not be located the dynamics link library

When I click O.K the following box opens following dialog:

An unhandled exception has occurred in your application.
The specified procedure could not be found.

It is further asking for invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging.

I hope I have been able to make myself clear.

What I want to know where the fault lies: In the program or in my computer.

Sorry for the lengthy post.

Any help will be of great help to me.

Regards.

It might help to know what the program is. But, it didn't say dll not
found, it said entry point in dll could not be found.

In the box following dialog is written: "the procedure entry point could
not be located the dynamics link library

The actual error message should have included the names of both the
specific procedure entry point and the dynamic link library (= DLL)
file.

What this error message means is that the program that the .DLL file
named in the error message is not the correct version for use with the
program that produced the error message.

Most of the time this means that the .DLL file has been replaced by an
older version of the file, and the program requires the newer version.
Many times you will find that your computer has more than one copy of
this particular .DLL file; that one or more of these copies is an
older version; and that the program involved is accessing an older
version for some reason.

The usual fix is to search your hard drive for all copies of this .DLL
file. For each copy found right-click on the file name, go to the
version tab and make note of the location of this particular copy and
the version number. Next make sure that the newest version is in
your \Windows\System32 folder. If not then copy it there. And
finally rename all of the older versions to (name).OLD so as to
prevent there being used as a .DLL file.

This will usually, but not always, fix this type of error. Without
specific details as to the name of the program, the name of the .DLL
file, and the name of the entry point involved it is impossible to be
more precise.

Good luck
