FYI... it is never really a good idea to arbitrarily copy over the Windows 
DLLs.  I've found this to be problematic - at best.  You should only copy 
over a Windows DLL if you cannot get it to work without doing so.

There are certain native DLLs that are expecting to talk to hardware that 
doesn't exist - user and kernel 32 are two of them and I believe their are 
one or two more (developers can tell you for sure) - these will never work 
using the native versions, you MUST use the builtin ones.  I believe that's 
why you are getting this error.  Try doing a clean install of Cedega without 
copying any DLLs from Windows and see what you get.

I hope something in my post is useful to you!  :)
