I got a message at login that the was now available so I downloaded, forgetting that I already had the automatic update scheduler. Now when I boot up, I get 2 message boxes. The first one reads: The procedure entry point apsSearchInterface could not be located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll. The second one reads the same, substituting apsGetReady for apsSearchInterface. I don't know what this means, nor how to fix it. I would greatly appreciate any help offered. Thank you.
