Description
What went wrong?
When launching Dolphin on a Windows Vista machine, Dolphin throws an error "Entry Point Not Found" with the message "The procedure entry point K32GetProcessMemoryInfo could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.", and then crashes (Dolphin has stopped working, close program). The main window for Dolphin is not displayed before the crash.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Launch Dolphin on a Vista installation
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
The latest version as of writing, 4.0-330, has this issue.
The first version to experience this issue is 4.0-298.
Which version of Dolphin used to work?
4.0-291 does not have this issue.
What are your PC specifications?
The machine where this issue occurs is:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 x86
CPU: Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.93 GHz (no overclocking) [first-generation Core i7, Lynnfield series]
GPU: EVGA NVidia GeForce GTX 560 - 1 GB (no overclocking)
64 or 32 bit Operating System?
32-bit
64 or 32 bit Dolphin?

Any other relevant information (e.g. logs, screenshots, configuration
files)
I have tested this issue on a Windows 7 x64 machine on both x64 and x86 versions of Dolphin 4.0-330 and neither have this issue. That machine's specifications are:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
CPU: Intel Core i7 740QM @ 1.73 GHz (no overclocking) [first-generation Core i7, Clarksfield series]
GPU: Stock NVidia GeForce GT 330M - 1 GB (no overclocking)
This issue is probably due to the changes in the Visual Studio project files that occured between builds 291 and 298.
Thanks for all the work everyone contributes to Dolphin. Good luck with solving this issue.
