Amazon Downloader and Kernel32 error

November2

Hi, had to reformat my computer and lost all my downloaded music, they're still in my Amazon cloudplayer and I reinstalled the Amazon downloader and downloaded them again but when I try to open the amz files I get an error message relating to 'getlogicalprocessor kernel32.dll'. A quick search tells me this is a registry problem but I'm very wary of downloading 'quick fixes'. I used to have a programme that I ran every now and then to check everything was running ok but I can't find it now, it checked the systems, etc. Not sure if it was a Windows XP or a Dell programme? Any ideas welcome

It isn't the registry - besides what the scam artists that peddle that kind of crapware will have you believe.

getlogicalprocessor or GetLogicalProcessorInformation?

That function is provided by the dll: api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-0.dll

&

api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-1-0.dll

Check you have kb2533623 installed. If you have, try registering those .dll's
