RE: [IMail Forum] dll initialization problem again

[R. Scott Perry]

> SMTP32.exe - DLL Initialization Failed > Initializing of the dinamic link library C:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.dll failed. The process is terminating > abnormally.   My understanding is that this means that the SMTP32.EXE file uses functions from the KERNEL32.DLL (and COMCTL32.DLL from your other error message).  However, when SMTP32.EXE starts and Windows loads in those DLLs (which are standard Windows DLLs, not IMail DLLs), those DLLs fail to load for some reason.  In most cases, this indicates a problem with the DLLs rather than the EXE file.   Since this doesn't happen all the time, it sounds as though there may be a problem with not enough system resources (memory, # of threads, etc.).  You might want to play with the Performance Monitor and see if there are any resources that are running low.                                                   -Scott
