SYMPTOMS
========

While installing, launching, or using features in a Windows 95 or Windows 98
application under Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, the following error message
appears: Program.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point
SomeProcedureName could not be located in the dynamic link library
KERNEL32.dll.

  <Program.exe> - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point
  <SomeProcedureName> could not be located in the dynamic link library
  KERNEL32.dll.

CAUSE
=====

The application is misinterpreting the operating system version and is trying to
call a procedure in the Windows 95 or Windows 98 version of the Dynamic Link
Library (DLL) that is unavailable in Windows NT version 4.0 or Windows 2000.

Clicking OK, the only option, may or may not allow the application to continue.

4.0 or Windows 2000.
