Hi,

I have about 90 customers getting this error on Win 2000 and Win XP
computers "The procedure entry point SMapLS could not be located in the
dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL".

Does anyone knows what the cause of this is and how do I fix this.

This is costing me a lot of money.

Thanks in advance.
