Hello. Why do I look so joyful? Actually, my computer's running ok except I'm getting these weird little problems that seem to be related, somehow. The trick is to find out how.
Here goes: (1) Can't install certain applications (I believe they are all 16-bit), such as Music Explorer.
(2) Certain applications, notably Mozilla, when I try to un-install I get a "cannot locate log file."
(3) I ran Dependency Walker to test the profile for an installation and I got this (only the faulting part of the log - the rest of the procedures were ok):
GetProcAddress(0x77E60000 [KERNEL32.DLL], "FlsAlloc") called from "DEPENDS.EXE" at address 0x010394C8 and returned NULL. Error: The specified procedure could not be found (127).
GetProcAddress(0x77E60000 [KERNEL32.DLL], "FlsGetValue") called from "DEPENDS.EXE" at address 0x010394D5 and returned NULL. Error: The specified procedure could not be found (127).
GetProcAddress(0x77E60000 [KERNEL32.DLL], "FlsSetValue") called from "DEPENDS.EXE" at address 0x010394E2 and returned NULL. Error: The specified procedure could not be found (127).
GetProcAddress(0x77E60000 [KERNEL32.DLL], "FlsFree") called from "DEPENDS.EXE" at address 0x010394EF and returned NULL. Error: The specified procedure could not be found (127).
(Sorry to clutter up the page here, maybe this is too much. Basically it looks like certain programs are having trouble hooking up with the required procedure.)
(4) Prior to this I was getting a referencing memory message, similar to the one above - memory locations were being referenced, but there was nothing there.
(5) I get error messages when I run Hijack This, as well:
An unexpected error has occurred at procedure: modRegistry_IniGetString(sFile=system.ini, sSection=boot, sValue=Shell)
Error #5 - Invalid procedure call or argument.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me get through this mess. Although my machine's running okay, and I can even install other programs with no problem, there's something funny going on and I'd like to get to the bottom of it. Incidentally, no viruses on board, nothing wrong with the registry (as least, not that Registry Mechanic can detect, and I've run Winsock Fix, too, 'cause I thought there might be a problem there. Everything else eems to check out.
Thanks.
