When I start Photoshop, which I’ve loaded on my new computer with Windows2000, I get a "Ordinal Not Found" startup error:
"The ordinal 146 could not be located in the dynamic link library KPCP32.dll." Is this because of Windows2000?
It never happened on my old computers with windows98 or WinNT.

I can’t comment on whether or not it should run on W2K, but you may have to reinstall PS 4 on that machine. The following article discusses it.

Well, a mixed thank you for you Tony.
It got rid of my ordinal message, but I still have this problem: Open an old BMP for updating that I made about 5 years ago. I can do some minor editing, but as soon as I paste a graphic in from the clipboard, both layers on the "Layers" toolbox are showing just a garnet and the image is only partially pasted. If I change the view or anything for a refresh,
It gives be a blank garnet.
When I close the image, Photoshop says:
Photoshop.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created.

It throws some stuff into the Dr. Watson log, and of course leaves behind a new one of those famous 10M ~Photoshop tmp files. I have to delete them manually.
Any other ideas?

Hello

You need the 4.01 patch. You need to set Windows swap file to Min 256 and max to 1.5 times your system ram. You might still get a error message whilst loading, but it will run.

The patch is here.
