Good Morning:
I had a spot of trouble with my HP computer, and had
to re-install Windows XP, a right pain in the ****.
It was not a very clean install.
Services.exe
rundll32.exe
mmc.exe
cmd.exe
to name but a few EXEs.
The Entry Point EncodePointer could not be found in DLL Kernel32.dll
or
The Entry Point DecodePointer could not be found in DLL Kernel32.dll
even cmd.exe has the same error message very noisy but the
EXEs appear to be running okay.
The only annoying thing is we appear to have lost Ireland's gaelic
LCID 2108. The Hp can no longer speak Gaelic, which is funny
because I eventually copied Kernel32.dll from this computer
which can speak it, but can't on the HP computer.
I am sure something is wrong but what I am not
sure.
But the Entry Point EncodePointer and DecodePointer
appear to be missing from Kernel32.dll
Reagrds herge
They are missing because you haven't installed the latest service packs for XP.
From MSDN, EncodePointer function
Minimum supported client Windows Vista, Windows XP with SP2 [desktop apps | Windows Store apps]
