Hello. I have this weird problem, KERNEL32.DLL and USER32.DLL are loading properly, but with OPENGL32.DLL I'm getting ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND (0000007E).

Opengl works from normal executables, but not if I try to GetModuleHandle it. It doesn't load opengl32.dll, opengl.dll, OPENGL.DLL either.

Here is a little program to check if it works from your computer. (compiled version in attachment). Please check it.

Code:

include 'win32ax.inc'

.code

start:
    invoke GetModuleHandleA, "OPENGL32.DLL"
    test eax,eax
    jz fail
success111:
    invoke MessageBox,0,"SUCCESS!!! IT WORKS!!","YES!",0
    jmp exit
fail:
    invoke MessageBox,0,"nope, returned zero","error",0
exit:
    invoke ExitProcess,0

.end start

GetModuleHandle only "works" if the DLL has already been linked to you executable. Sometimes other DLLs will link to OPENGL32, even if you don't, and it will be linked because those other modules request it. Otherwise you will get an error. If you want to load it then use LoadLibrary.
