[Tutor] How do I use calldll and windll?

[spi]

I figured out this issue, thought that I would post the solution in
case anyone else had this problem

I was importing the modules in the wrong order

i was doing

>>> import windll
>>> import calldll

The right way to do it is

>>> import calldll
>>> import windll
