NHL2004 (d3d, kernel32, lz32)

[Abdul Ahmad]

Okay, so I copied version.dll from win98se, but now this is what I get:

First chance exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 
32-bit code (0x00426cbd).

hmm... is there any way i can get something more detailed to figure out 
whats wrong? I AM using a blank kernel32.dll and a blank lz32.dll.. im 
figuring that those dll's might be critical... the only other thing i 
can think of is theres something wrong with my sound setup because i get 
  that OSS error, or the implementation of D3D isn't complete enough to 
run it...

does anyone know what the function of lz32.dll is by the way?
