re: psapi.dll not found Error Thursday, December 4, 2003 at 4:36 pm Posted by worm (792 messages posted) Hi Frederick, It's an operating system file which is part of all versions of Windows as well as many other applications. It's not spyware or anything to be concerned about. You can extract a copy from the C:\Windows\Options\Install directory like this: 1. Go to Start > Run, type msconfig and click OK. 2. Click the "Extract File" button and in the first field, click the dropdown menu to go to the above mentioned directory. 3. Choose to copy it to the C:\Window\System directory. You can also download it from here On Thursday, December 4, 2003 at 4:17 pm, Frederick F Webb wrote: >I have a Windows ME PC with a constant message on boot, psapi.dll not found.

The best way to get rid of it is to download to and run from your desktop, CW-SHREDDER. If you get an error about a missing file MSVBVM60.DLL, install this first: MS-Patch . All downloads are virus free and safe. MrC On Thursday, December 4, 2003 at 4:17 pm, Frederick F Webb wrote: >I have a Windows ME PC with a constant message on boot, psapi.dll not found.

It was on my hard drive, and had this name: iedll.exe The problem was solved.
