When I try to download programs I get "gdiplus.dll error: 126.
Also when I put a DVD in all I get is sound & no picture.
Running Win 2000 PRO service pack 4.
Have gotten Windows xp-kb 957096-x86-e nu (I think this is the
gdiplus.dll fix) but i dont know where to install it to make it work.
Thanks
Gene

The update you have downloaded is for Windows XP, it WILL not work in Windows 2000 Pro sp 4.

Please read the thread properly...

System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000 Service Pack 4; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2; Windows Server 2008; Windows Vista; Windows Vista Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows XP Service Pack 3
System Requirements: Microsoft Windows® 2000 Service Pack 4 (Professional or Server)

a faulty info ??

This file you mention should be an executable. It will install it where it needs to go. If you want to read up on this more I will include the link directly to microsoft about this download.

Download details: Platform SDK Redistributable: GDI+

And you also pointed out what I was going to say, it should work as your operating system is listed as one of the supported systems for this installation. The best you can do is try it and see if it works. If not then you may want to just install xp and get it over.
