- DynaLink is the shortened form of Dynamic Link. An Undefined Dynalink
- refers to a call from an application to a function that is supposed to be in a
- DLL. The function is Imported for the application and is supposed to be
- Exported in the DLL. You have a DLL that doesn't export the function that the
- application is looking for.
-
- You might try running exehdr.exe on the application and looking for the
- imports and comparing that with the output from running exehdr.exe on the DLL's
- to try to find out exactly which function the application is expecting and
- can't find.
-
- You also might want to check what DLL's that the MM Upgrade replaces
- and reload the originals to see if that will fix the problem.
