PSAPI.DLL error message

follow the instructions for psapi.dll, but type in px.dll in step 12 and leave out step 10 altogether. This will have the effect of searching your entire c: drive.

hy all...

i can see that i am the only one who has this problem but with only one psapi.dll file...the one in system 32. what can i do? i get this error everytime when i open a program...yahoo messenger or utorrent...

Welcome to Windrivers Keanu

What ISP do you have?
Is this XP sp2?
What version psapi.dll do you have? (right click the file, select properties, click on the version tab, click on the file version in the item list and on the right will be displayed the version
"5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)" is the version that is shipped with windows. If it is that version, then somewhere you DO have another version of psapi.dll. If it is not the version, you need to extract a new version from your XP cd. here is how use method 1 if you can.

after hours of searching looking reading, i finally managed to get rid of it. i scaned with regclean, disable some startup programs from ms config, dowloaded a new version of psapi.dll and now it works. :)

p.s. thank you for the topic, very good info.
p.p.s. good to be here. :)

My error shows sprint, some show verison, just depends who you use.

To work around this error:

1. Navigate to the installation location for SmartBridge via My Computer (\Program Files\Sprint...\Smart...)
2. Find PSAPI.DLL and rename it to something like PSAPIOLD.DLL
3. Reboot the system

The program will find the new PSAPI.DLL in the \Windows\System32 directory and function normally. :wave:

Worked perfect! I had an Ergodex, with what must have been an old PSAPI. When i unplug the thing my system is happy, plug it in and my system nags about PSAPI.DLL. So i unplugged it, renamed the DLL and plugged back in. Now everything Works!! Thanks!:thumbs2:

Welcome to Windrivers Steve314 - glad you found it useful

Thank you to Stuinn's great advice posted June 6, 2006. It worked!
If you have the alert Smartbridge alert-no access point found, use Stuinn's advice to go to my computer/ program files/ (your internet provider- mine was SBC) and then look for the PSAPI.DLL file and rename it PSAPIOLD.DLL
It worked for me! Thanks!!

Glad it helped you trex. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask them in a new thread.

I just read all 12 pages of this and gleaned sooo much info. Thanks to Stuinn and NooNoo for the explicit instructions. I did it and, voila!!, it worked!! And I know NOTHING about what I'm doing. Good instructions!!!!!!! It wasn't really a problem, but terribly annoying. Now, it's gone!!!....Thanks again and keep up the good work. (I've been putting up with that stupid box everytime I start up for probably a year now!!!)

This is the error I get when I try to load Pinnacle Studio 10... The error only shows up after the Pinnacle Studio 10 update labeled "10_5" is installed. My install is on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server setup. This is a Microsoft problem and happens somewhere in the ramp between 2000 and XP. I do not know why yet but I will figure it out. If you do not believe me Install Windows 2000 and you will see one has the error and one does not. This "10_5" error is gone in XP... When I get the paspi error in XP I always go and install it under Windows 2000 and wala the error is gone... or vise versa... Microsoft Techs that the general public have access to have limited knowledge and will never be able to answer technical questions of this nature. I intend to figure out how to get around this error and I will post a fix... sfc is no help at all under windows 2000 advanced server, even if you PURGE the CACHE it still has this error. Odds are if you get this error under XP do an upgrade on the particular application... If your under windows 2000 do a downgrade... I know I know the point seems mute and nobody wants to have a version that is not current. How ever it is the only chice you have under Windows 2000 until I figure out what causes it...

What do you find confusing patje?

I followed Stuinn's directions, problem solved. Thanks!!!
Agi

Just want to join all those who found that Stuinn's directions worked - changed the file names, went away for a few days (coincidentally!) and since getting back - no annoying error messages of any sort. So thanks from me too.

your solution worked like a charm. thanks a lot. It took me less than 2 minutes to implement the fix.
