The following error is displayed when trying to run GPU-Z:

The procedure EncodePointer could not be located in the DLL KERNEL32.dll.

My adapter type is:

ATI RAGE Mobility(COMPAQ) P/M AGP 2x(A21/2)

RAM: 8 MB
Adapter string: 1002-4C4D-64-0E11-B111
SDRAM BIOS: 4.229T(P5/P64)

Could be associated with the fact that the gpu is so old

I could be wrong but iirc those r from the 90's, which is probably causing detection issues. The air and her posting is a DLL error so I don't know
I'm a wizard could help

So, is it a problem with the .dll or the fact that the adapter is too old?

I'm guessing it's a DLl issue but it certainly is not helped by the fact that the GPU is 20 years old

Sorry I couldn't be more help, maybe the author of gpuz can shed light

EncodePointer missing means that your Windows version is too old. What are you running? I think you need at least XP SP3
