I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional, version 2002 and I am trying to use any simulator for tecmo of the 2000's, maybe 2009 or 2011, but I get an error code stating, entry point not found, the procedure entry point EncodePointer could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL 32.dll. I am doing this for my little nephew who stays with me on weekends, his name is Michael, and I call him Mikey. I am good with Macs but not Windblows..... thanks for any help, I get nothing but errors bc Windblows sucks or I don't have the proper updated software I guess.
