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Most of the time this means that the .DLL file has been replaced by an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
