Hi,

I had the same error here. The DLL from microsoft in the wammu directory are not compatible with XP. You have to remove it.

Edit You have to remove :

• crypt32.dll
• SETUPAPI.dll
• MSWSOCK.dll

Thanks for your reply. This solution worked for me. Wammu successfully launched on Windows XP SP3.
