This message usually indicates that the version of the program, or at
least the dll involved, you are trying to run isn't designed for use with
the operating system you are using.

The problem isn't with kernel32.dll but rather with wlanapi.dll which is
looking for an entrypoint GetSystemWindowsDirectoryW.to kernel32.dll that
does not exist. The date of your copy of kernel32.dll, 8 June 2000, is
that of the version that forms part of Win Me.

And thus the cause of your problem. You downloaded the incorrect version.

My advice would be to look for and install Win Me compatible drivers, if
they exist, for your wireless card. I'd start with the D-Link site and
work from there if you don't have them on a CD.
