Error when opening EXE?

[thetakerfan]

When I go to FIle>Make EXE, it seems to work fine, but when I try to run the EXE I get thsi error:

"The procedure entry point InitializeCriticalSection X could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL."

I have absolutely no idea what the error means or why its showing up. When I run the program in VB it works fine.

Any ideas?

Thats freakin weird. I have no idea about this. Normally it occurs if system could not locate some particular code in DLL that you are refferring in your program.

I don't reference kernel32 anywhere
I do have

Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long

, but that isn't the problem. I tried commenting it out, but it still gave the problem

it looks a problem with your OS then ... if you could not find any solution you might have to re-install your OS.

well, I was planning on reformatting my partition anyway, so maybe a new install of XP will work, thanks
