Hello,

When I start my laptop, I am getting the message "The procedure entry point GetShortPathName coulkd not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" for Internet browser exe, yahoo messengar exe and many other programs.

My laptop was working fine till yesterday night. I have no idea what is the cause of this problem and how could I resolve it.

I will appreciate any response/help to resolve this issue.

Please let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,
Pankaj

Have you installed some thing last time?If yes uninstall it.You can also try sfc /scannow command:Run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges and type sfc /scannow
If nothing help use System Restore:System Restore - Undo

Thanks for your quick response.

I had not downloaded anything in recent past, and It was perfectly working fine till yesterday night.

Anyway, I will try your suggesstions. Just want to confirm, if I still get same message then should I try to install windows-visa again?

Thanks,
Pankaj

I tried both the options, sfc/scnanow and system restore, I am still getting same error message.

Please suggest any other solution.

Thanks,
Pankaj
