Reinstall your isp software - the real motivesb.exe is part of your isp software. Then you will need to rename the psapi.dll that gets installed with the isp software.
Thanks to Stuinn and NooNoo for resolving the error message:Quote:

problem for me, which started when I updated to IE7 just before Xmas, 2006.
NTL and Virigin media (whose Broadband Medic program was triggering the message) were aware of the issue but showed no interest in resolving it.
i do however have a slight problem with the fixes and i am unsure as to why this is happening as i have run virus and spyware scans and i have the same error with the psapi.dll but when i close the error message or click ok the machine freezes completely and it wont even load task manager (so i cant even check any processes are running that shouldn't be) even if i try and run the fix with the message still there it still freezes
any ideas anyone??:confused:
Welcome to Windrivers Stevo T
Yes you can do the fix in safe mode. Press f8 a few times before the computer shows the windows screen, choose safe mode from the black and white menu.
If your machine freezes in safe mode, you may have a hardware problem.
thanks NooNoo
of course i completely forgot about safe mode. i will let you know how i get on.
ps i love the Tag line NooNoo very true aswell:thumbs2:
I do not know how to get the PSAPI.DLL error message from Smartbridge to go away. I would like someone to give detailed instructions on how to get this to go away. I've read other posts and replies and they are like a foreign language to me... I'm a computer novice here...PLEASE this error message is aggravating every time I startup my computer it pops up.. Thanks.
Welcome to Windrivers angelica
try the following
1. click start
2. click my computer
3. click the tools menu and choose folder options
4. on the window that opens, click the view tab
5. uncheck the box next to "hide extensions for known file types"
6. just above that line is a radio button, click on it to show hidden files and folders.
7. Click apply
8. Click ok and that window will close
9. On the my computer, double click the icon for Local Disk ( C: ) drive.
10. Double click on "program files"
11. Now from the top, click the search icon and choose "all files and folders" on the left
12 type in psapi.dll in the "all or part of filename" box
13 click more advanced options (lower down)
14 check the boxes to search system files, hidden files and folders and search sub folders.
15 Click search and wait for results.
16 When windows has found the file in program files, right click and rename to psapi.old. If there is more than one, then rename them, checking that they are within program files (as shown in the column to the right of the filename). The only psapi.dll file you want will be in C:\windows\system32. Make sure you do not rename the file in C:\windows\system32
17. When you have done renaming, close the open windows and restart the computer.
18. Reply to this post to let us know the result.
Ive been having the same problem, took ALL of these steps, but it does not work. There was only one PSAPI.DLL file when I searched for it, I renamed it, but now:Quote:

I cant find any other PSAPI.DLL files, unless im doing something wrong.
I'm very computer illiterate! I'm not sure when I started getting this message, but it pops up when I log on to my computer and also when I attempt to open my MusicMatch program. I also get the message "Ordinal 2250 could not be located in the dynamic link library PX.dll." Therefore, I cannot open and use the MusicMatch program or play the music that has been downloaded to that program. I've contacted Tech Support with Music Match, uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, but that did not correct the problem. They don't seem to know what to do next either and neither do I. Any help?
i tried it and it has worked. so might i add many thanks to everyone who have posted fixes. it may be just a thought try checking the folder options. when in my computer if you click on tools option i cant remember the tab name but check that you can find hidden files and folders. it may be worth trying a more extensive in depth search on the machine. if you still have no luck remove the web assistant that comes with your isp
Where was the psapi.dll that you renamed located?Quote:

Ordinal 2250 could not be located in the dynamic link library PX.dll is not confined to musicmatch - it is a problem with divx, yahoo music and others. It would imply that the px.dll is corrupt and one post I read stated that the music database could be corrupt.Quote:

I'm clueless as to how to find my copy of px.dll. Where or how do I find it?
