The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Fix "GetModuleHandleExW" error on a W2K SP4 Machine

Asked by mkieczka in Windows 2000 Operating System, Windows Registry Cleaners, System Diagnostic Software, Microsoft Operating Systems

Tags: Windows 2000, Reg, Registry, fix, kernel, dll

Hello,

this is the first time I come across a problem I can't find on EE. Some Google results will show that some users had same problem with same OS version, but no one seems to have a fix or workaround.

So far all I know is that this problem/error is because some piece of software (made for Windows XP and above) messed up my Windows 2000 Registry entries. I believe it was a CCleaner Update (latest: 2.34)

Error message states :

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

As far as I read, Windows 2000 does not use this entry or procedure. Some software must have add this entry, which is causing a error message to  pop up 5 times every time an application is called to load. (Apps I never had problems before) like Adobe Reader 7...even on system startup (services and startup-programms).

I already tested my PC for Malware, Spyware and Viruses. (MalbitWare and NOD32 Smart Security). Non found.

I have had no HW changes (or driver updates). I am running W2K Sp4 (German), Office 2003, Nod 32, and many more small apps which were there before this error popped up.  

I already uninstalled CCleaner. I have no Reg Backup (I know, I know, plz dont mention it...I learned my lesson).  I am afraid using any free or commercial Registry Cleaner or "fixer" and make things worse.

Any suggestions? (I am not considering installing W2K from scratch)

Thanks !!
