Hi Nass,

Hi Xetra,
User32.dll not found thta means the file missing or misplaced, most
application delpend on this DLL.
= First try to Run this command and see if the OS will repair it for you,
Open a Run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK] and let it run, get your XP CD handy to insert
it in if the OS prompted you to do so to repaird the damaged/corrupted
files/folders in the system core.

= The other option is to copy this file from the CD or from here:
C:\Windows\System32 to this0 Path C:\Windows as it been needed by the
Application.
My guess is the download is looking for this DLL in this path C:\Windows and
can't find it, so it given you this Error message.
BTW, did you installed the Videp Card Driver and the Motherboard drivers
from the Video/Motherboard CD drivers?.
HTH.
Let us know.
Regards,
nass
