Attempt to install software results in user32.dll error message.

I apparently made an unknown error. Now when I attempt to install two
software packages I receive error messages. One package results in the
message "The procedure entry point CallWindowProMF could not be located in
the dynamic link library user32.dll. Attempting to install the other package
results in exactly the same error message, but the procedure entry point is
DefWindowProMF.

In Safe Mode I renamed user32.dll, then attempted to install a copy of the
file from another computer. I still get the same error messages.

I can not find either procedure entry point when I search the registry.

My OS is XP Pro, Version 2002, Service Pack 2.

Help, or at least guide me to a more appropriate discussion group.

RE: Attempt to install software results in user32.dll error message.

Are these install packages you wrote or are they packages you got from
someone else? The calls don't appear to really be part of user32.dll.

The only google link for either name (CallWindowProMF, DefWindowProMF), is
worth reviewing, but it doesn't look like the problem was solved there either:

and without hope. It is an image of the
condition of men.

200. A man in a dungeon, ignorant whether his sentence be pronounced and
having only one hour to learn it, but this hour enough, if he knew that it
is pronounced, to obtain its repeal, would act unnaturally in spending that
hour, not in ascertaining his sentence, but in playing piquet. So it is
against nature that man, etc. It is making heavy the hand of God.

Thus not only the zeal of those who seek Him proves God, but also the
blindness of those who seek Him not.

201. All the objections of this one and that one only go against themselves,
and not against religion. All that infidels say ...

202. From those who are in despair at being without faith, we see that God
does not enlighten them; but as to the rest, we see there is a God who makes
them blind.

203. Fascinatio nugacitatis.[26] --That passion may not harm us, let us act
as if we had only eight hours to live.

204. If we ought to devote eight hours of life, we ought to devote a hundred
years.

205. When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the
eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see,
engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and
which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather
than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now
rather than then. Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have
this place and time been allotted to me? Memoria hospitis unius diei
praetereuntis.[27]

Well those funtions don't exist in user32.dll, so the program is
crashing. It's badly written.

Maybe they meant to use CallWindowProc/DefWindowProc?

Their QA *really* sucks.

she blunts the senses, or quickens them; she
has her fools and sages; and nothing vexes us more than to see that she
fills her devotees with a satisfaction far more full and entire than does
reason. Those who have a lively imagination are a great deal more pleased
with themselves than the wise can reasonably be. They look down upon men
with haughtiness; they argue with boldness and confidence, others with fear
and diffidence; and this gaiety of countenance often gives them the
advantage in the opinion of the hearers, such favour have the imaginary wise
in the eyes of judges of like nature. Imagination cannot make fools wise;
but she can make them happy, to the envy of reason which can only make its
friends miserable; the one covers them with glory, the other with shame.

What but this faculty of imagination dispenses reputation, awards respect
and veneration to persons, works, laws, and the great? How insufficient are
all the riches of the earth without her consent!

Would you not say that this magistrate, whose venerable age commands the
respect of a whole people, is governed by pure and lofty reason, and that he
judges causes according to their true nature without considering those mere
trifles which only affect the imagination of the weak? See him go to sermon,
full of devout zeal, strengthening his reason with the ardour of his love.
He is ready to listen with exemplary respect. Let the preacher appear, and
let nature have given him a hoarse voice or a comical cast of countenance,
or let his barber have given him a bad shave, or let by chance his dress be
more dirtied than usual, then, however great the truths he announces, I
wager our senator loses his gravity.

and acts
in various persons. There is an endless variety in the particular manner
and circumstances in which persons are wrought on; and an opportunity of
seeing so much will show that God is further from confining Himself to a
particular method in His work on souls than some imagine. I believe it
has occasioned some good people amongst us, who were before too ready to
make their own experience a rule to others, to be less censorious and
more extended in their charity; and this is an excellent advantage
indeed. The work of God has been glorious in its variety; it has the
more displayed the manifold and unsearchable wisdom of God, and wrought
more charity among His people.

There is a great difference among those who are converted, as to the
degree of hope and satisfaction they have concerning their own state.
Some have a high degree of satisfaction in this matter almost
constantly; and yet it is rare that any enjoy so full an assurance of
their interest in Christ that self-examination should seem needless to
them; unless it be at particular seasons, while in the actual enjoyment
of some great discovery God gives of His glory and rich grace in Christ,
to the drawing forth of extraordinary acts of grace. But the greater
part, as they sometimes fall into dead frames of spirit, are frequently
exercised with scruples and fears concerning their condition.

They generally have an awful apprehension of the dreadful nature of a
false hope; and there has been observable in most a great caution, lest
in giving an account of their experiences, they should say too much, and
use too strong terms. Many, after they have related their experiences,
have been greatly afflicte
