I think the KERNEL32.DLL is missing in your computer. Download it from here and move it into the System32 folder(\Windows\System32).

This is because you do not have Windows XP SP2.  Visit WindowsUpdate to get it:

To verify (sorry, has to be said), http://download.msgpluslive.net/setup/MsgPlus3-Setup.exe?

I can assure you it works in Windows 2000 just fine.  There's no SP to add this function to the kernel in Windows 2000.

For the "The procedure entry point IsWow64Process could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll." problem...

After searching Google for a while, here's what I've come up with...

quote:
user32.dll
advapi32.dll
oleaut32.dll
mpr.dll
version.dll
gdi32.dll
ole32.dll
comctl32.dll
winspool.DRV
winmm.dll
wsock32.dll
netapi32.dll

You need to download these files from www.dll-files.com or www.dlldump.com and place them in your system32 directory .. usually C:\Windows\System32

Edit: There, I even linked them all for you :P
Edit2: Read what TReKiE said first (below)

Don't do this.  What you're reading is people who don't really understand what's happening and are guessing.  And really, even if you were to successfully manage to copy over these files, Windows will just automatically replace it with the correct version.

Let me translate the error message for you into English.  It's saying that the IsWow64Process function can't be found in Kernel32.dll.  Why can't it be found?  Because the function didn't exist prior to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.

As such, if an application attempts to access this function on Windows versions prior to these, you will get the error.

Arbitrary copying over Windows system files from any old place on the web isn't going to solve the problem.

One cannot answer a question correctly if one does not understand the question, or in this case, the problem.
