Hi folks, I used to be a regular user of Need For Speed 4: High Stakes, but I stopped playing it for a while. I tried to fire it up today, and I got the following message: Error Starting Program The NFSHS.EXE file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL Uninstalling, removing the leftover directory, and then reinstalling didn't do any good. Anyone? Please? Thanks in advance, G

I had this problem once. Almost all my games started to mess up (never happened with NFSHS though cause I've never played the game). The only cure I found was to re-install Windows overtop of your current Windows installation. Worked like a charm for me! ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

kernal32.dll is a basic windows file. Have you made any upgrades of windows lately? It sounds like you may now have a different version of of the kernal32 file than when you last ran NFS. This is just a shot in the dark, but do a quick search of your nfs cd and see if the kernal32.dll is on that.
