PSAPI.DLL error message

Hi
Tried all the things mentioned on here but found non of them on the computer then I had an eureka moment! It depends what ISP is being used - probably obvious to everyone else.............

My daughter is using ntlworld - I uninstalled their 'Medic' and yessssssssss, error message gone.

By the way the problem with the IE7 home page can be put right by going to Tools (top right of page) down to Internet Options, Advanced Tab then click on Reset which is at the bottom, it comes up with a message saying not to be used unless IE is unusable but all it seems to do is correct the problem, then go to the general tab and type in the home page you want to use, reboot, click on IE with fingers crossed and all should be well.

Having solved those problems I am now off to look at the new Vista - glutton for punishment or what???????????

Sound advice...

You are going to love vista if your machine is capable of using it... if it isn't you are in for a world of hurt....

Used your fix and it worked like a charm the first time out! I have sbcdsl and it worked all the same. Thanks for helping the rookie!:thumbs2:

If you have any other questions, then start a thread.

Thank you, renaming the PSAPI.DLL in the SmartBridge folder solved the error for me as well. :thumbs:

Welcome to Windrivers dramartwriting. Glad it helped.

You know, I never thought of that - but I guess it's true - I think you may have intuitively helped me along my spiritual path . . . I used to really worry about the end of the universe - it seemed almost as unfair as life having to end, but now I've got it figured out: the universe will continue expanding until it doesn't, then it'll start contracting until there's just one atom, or molecule, or black hole left, and then it'll do another big bang, and start out on a whole other trip - maybe similar, maybe the same, maybe totally different - but our 'eternal' (quotes acknowledging that time doesn't actually exist) security is assured by the fact that in the final / first moments, so long as there is a polarity of isness / isnotness; positive / negative; yin / yang, then the creation will not end. So maybe it is worth staying alive, after all!

Best, Mark

this has been the most help i've found for this issue!


for those who are still working on resolving the issue, unsintall "windows internet explorer 7" with add/remove and everything should be fine

(firefox is better anyways :P)

thanks again!

Uninstalling IE7 isn't resolving the issue... it's side stepping it. FF is different and not everyone has the luxury of being able to choose their browsers.

I hope you get the ISP to upgrade their version of psapi.dll... after all this is the root cause of the issue - using outdated dlls.

cool, i hadn't read the entire thread, just wanted to thank you for the help

as of right now, i've been without this error for quite some time. :thumbs:

Following STUINN's advice, I renamed psapi.dll to psaOLDpi.dll and rebooted. No other version of the file was placed into the offending Program File folder, and it was still renamed. BUT the program now worked as though there had been no psapi problem. Don't understand it, but Thanks, STUINN.

Welcome to Windrivers cellresearcher

It worked because windows has it's own copy of psapi.dll in its system files and knows where to find it.

...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:

I spent hours talking to SBC/att/Yahoo tech support and got to their level 3 support (software experts?):confused: they had me unistall the sbc browser and supposedly all the components thru the usual "remove programs
' from the controll panel. This Did not work! it did not remove all of SBC !!I did the search for all the PSAPI.DLL and then renamed all of them except for the one located in the Windows\System32 directory . i rebooted and everything is fine!!!! :thumbs2:

I can't thank this forum enough!
