Hi
I just downloaded Kies 3 to my new Laptop, which is a Toshiba using Win 8.1.
Tried to run it, but got an error
The error said
Kies 3 Ordinal Not Found
The ordinal 12148 could not be located in the Dynamic Link Library C:\ProgramFiles(X86)Samsung\Kies3\Kies3.exe
Anybody know what this means and how I can solve it please.
Kies 3 was downloaded from the Samsung Site.
