Default Error message regarding DLL


HERE IS THE SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM:
Apparently this is a DLL belongs to Process Status Helper (I think from
Microsoft) and it has the procedure entry point GetProcessImageFileNameW
that is incompatible.


According to Microsoft, there is only one PSAPI.DLL file in your PC and
it is under the Windows\System 32 folder. Additional PSAPI.DLL file may
be installed by third party programs such as SmartBridge, often the
older version. If you have other versions of the PSAPI.DLL file in the
system, it can cause your IE 7 or other windows programs that interact
with IE7 to crash when you start it up. Beside, you may have annoying
error message like above too.

*To solve the PSAPI.DLL incompatibility issue* and overcome this
problem, search your PC or check the program folder of the application
that crashes for a PSAPI.DLL file:

1. Open up Search from Start Menu.
2. Find all instances PSAPI.DLL on your PC.
3. Rename all extra copies of PSAPI.DLL files found EXCEPT the one
located in \Windows\System32\ folder to some other names like
PSAPIOLD.DLL (never delete or do anything with the PSAPI.DLL file in
your Windows or Windows/System 32 folder).
4. Reboot the system.

After reboot, there will not be anymore conflict and Windows will
automatically look for valid PSAPI file in the Windows system folder.
