CUBASE 5.0 VST 32 on Windows XP

[pearcey]

I recently loaded my PC with Windows XP (previously had Windows 98). When I installed CUBASE 5.0, I received the following error:

"The procedure entry point SMapLS_IP_EBP_12 could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

This version ran with no problems on Windows 98. I thought it might be an issue with Windows XP, but I have successfully installed an odler version of CUBASE on Windows XP with no problems. Any ideas?

I remember there was a patch from steinberg for vst5 to work under XP (if I remember well, it didn' work for me).

It's me again. Thanks for your suggestion about the patch on the Steinberg service site. I downloaded and installed it, and now receive the following error:

"SYNCROSOFT POS ERROR MESSAGE
An error has been signaled by the Protection Object Server.
>Application 'Cubase VST/32' has caused the error
>No Protection Device connected.
Connect device and click OK to retry. Click cancel to abort"

Once this error message is cancelled, a new one appears stating:

"The copy protection key could not be found! Please make sure it is plugged into the printer port!"

I guess I'm a step ahead, but am still confused about this error. Again, does anyone have any words of advice?

Thanks

cubase now uses a dongle.if you have a dingle,you may need to upgrade it's firmware. if you don't have a dongle,you may need to contact steinberg.

the message refers to the syncrosoft dongle.
