Yes I know its an oooooooold game, but its also a classic and I miss playing it! every time I try to run the game I get the following error: C&C95.EXE - Entry Point Not Found - The Procedure entry point SMapsLS_IP_EBP_12 could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL Anybody have a clue why it does this? Because of the function call it is looking for in that KERNEL32.DLL file is not there, or returning a value that it just does not understand... so, it's throwing an "exception" & abending/crashing out on you. Originally posted by shassouneh: Quote: I have tried both Win95 and WinNT compatibility modes and they didn't do anything. If you know how to get around this, please do help me and others. Sometimes, those "compatibility modes" won't work, period! There are some pretty "radical" differences in 9x based Os' & NT-based ones @ the Win32 API level (and most definitely bigger ones underneath that as in the case of the device driver models as well as NT having an underlying native API beneath Win32 itself). I've run into this on & off programming myself, & it is a BUMMER trying to work around what used to work on 9x, but fails on NT-based Operating Systems. (Which if I were to guess what 'compatibility mode' does is probably simply "fake" the environment for games that actually do checking on the Windows version in memory. That will work if say, a game was designed before there WAS a Windows XP or 2003 etc. because the game's code only detects as high as say, Windows 2000 or NT.) * The function it's looking for? Just not there most likely in this build of KERNEL32.DLL in more modern Operating Systems than what this game was designed for... APK I did all that JP said to do and still got the same "kernel" message. Is Alec§taar right in that it just won't work? I don't understand. Someone please help. Thanks a lot. Patrick
