kernel32.dll problem and WinXP

I am now getting this message when I try to log onto CWClient:

CWClient.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for
the inconvenience caused.

More details>
AppName: cwclient.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2045 Offset: 00012a5b

I have recently upgraded to WinXP. I think that kernel32.dll is part of Win
98 and so I wonder if this problem has been
created by the upgrade? What do I need to do to fix it? Reinstall a CW
client?

Thanks

No, kernel32.dll is a MS O/S component that 32 bit programs use to make
calls to subroutine programs which is a library of programs used by a
program to talk to the O/S.

It may be that the program cwcline.exe that was running on the Win 9'x
O/S cannot use the kernel32.dll on XP, because that version of
kernel32.dll doesn't have what it's wanting to use, it's there but
program interfaces between the two programs is different and the
programs cannot interface with each other.

Maybe, there is version of cwclient.exe that works on the XP O/S. Or you
can check with the company that wrote the program and see what they advise.

You might try to reinstall the program as the Upgrade to XP might have
hosed something. You never know. But some programs have to be certified
to run on XP.

Re-install did do the trick, so I submitted a problem report to Orchid
electronics.
