Vlad, my friend, you're going to hit yourself over the head and go, "Duh!" with this one. Handles are all DWORDS, right? so:

lnBuflen = LEN(lcbuffer) / 4

I did the same thing with GetTimeZoneInformation(), not realizing that a WHCAR was a UNICODE character (16 bits, not 8). Got exactly the same message. I'd guess that anytime that you (or I) get that infamous message, we'd better loo9k and make sure that all the data types are right.

Kindest Regards,
