Article Q184802
Windows Users - If you experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- the error message "Initialization of the dynamic library
...\system32\user32.dll failed" when starting a runtime, or
- an exit code 128 in the ICEXEC log when starting a runtime, or
- an exit code 128 In the ICNETD log when starting an icnets
surrogate, or
- no more than 4-10 runtimes will run on serial lines or telnet sessions or icnet surrogates will logon, then
look at the article entitled "User32.dll or Kernel32.dll Fails to Initialize" (Article ID: Q184802) posted in the Microsoft Support Knowledge Base which gives information on updating the registry for a particular value for heap memory. This article describes updating the \System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems\Windows subkey under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the registry where there is normally a "SharedSection=1024,3072" in the data for this value which you must replace with "SharedSection=1024,3072,512" and reboot for the new value to take effect.
ICINFO displays the value for this registry entry as "NT Heap".
