Service pack 3 problem

May 26, 2008

I have Windows XP professional and just installed service Pack 3. On start up

i now get

the following messages:-

The procedure entry point ApsGetinterfacecount could not be located in the

dynamic link library wlanapi.dll.

The procedure entry point apsinitialise could not be located in the dynamic

link library wlanapi.dll.

Can anybody help me to resolve this please?

thanks in advance

Re: Service pack 3 problem

Show hidden files, folders, and system files:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html#winxp

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to

WINDOWS\system32

Locate wlanapi.dll

Right click it and choose Properties

Click the Version tab

The Version included with SP3 is 5.1.2600.5512

There's a chance that the file in question has become damaged during the

application of SP3. Suggest you boot to Safe Mode:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222

When in SM, navigate to

WINDOWS\system32

Delete wlanapi.dll

WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

Delete the backup of wlanapi.dll

Navigate to

WINDOWS\\ServicePackFiles\i386

Locate wlanapi.dll

Copy it to the 2 previous locations you deleted it from:

WINDOWS\system32

WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

*Disconnect* the system from any network or internet connection.

Restart to normal Windows mode.

Go to Start > Run > type in or copy&paste the below into the Open: line

and then click OK or press Enter

regsvr32 wlanapi.dll

*Reconnect* the system to the network or internet connection.

Did that get the file registered ?

Re: Service pack 3 problem

IF you find that Windows File Protection will not allow you to delete

wlanapi.dll, rename the file to wlanapi.old, and then replace the

renamed file with a copy of it located in

WINDOWS\\ServicePackFiles\i386

REMEMBER to rename both copies of wlanapi.dll in WINDOWS\system32 and

WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

Re: Service pack 3 problem

Still have the same problem although the version number of the file is

correct. I have deleted the file from System32 and copied the one in the

service pack area but have 2 issues namely:

1) do not have a folder Windows\system32\dllcache

2) computer could not find the file regsvr32 when i ran it.

Any further advice please?

thanks

Re: Service pack 3 problem

>> 1) do not have a folder Windows\system32\dllcache

If you've done this correctly -

Show hidden files, folders, and system files

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html#winxp

and no dllcache folder exists, read on ...

>> 2) computer could not find the file regsvr32 when i ran it.

The Operating System is either damaged, there is malware present that

was resident when SP3 was applied, or, the command syntax is incorrect.

After show hidden files, folders, and system files, use WINDOWS Explorer

to navigate to the WINDOWS directory [folder]

Open the system32 subfolder

Locate regsvr32.exe

*Right* click it and choose Open

A window should appear stating " No DLL name specified "

Under that is Usage:

There will be a list of commands.

Is that what you saw ?

Which antivirus|security suite is installed ?

Was it actively monitoring the system when SP3 was applied ?

Re: Service pack 3 problem

Had made a mistake and now done it correctly, but still no luck. Fails to

register as no Dll point was found.

Opening the regsvr32 file is as you say, no dll specified, followed by the

useage information.

i am running Norton 360 and it was operational when the update was done. I

have also scanned the system using the Norton and Spybot with no malware

being found.

what do i do now?

Thanks

Re: Service pack 3 problem

The Norton 360 running did not help, but that is not your problem.

You wireless network interface card needs a new driver for SP3.

However, if you use Linksys, they do not have a new driver.

But you can get around the problem by deleting the network monitoring program from start-up.

On the original error pop-up (the one that told you "The procedure entry point apsinitialise could

not be located in the

dynamic link library wlanapi.dll" ) There was a monitoring program. Use either "msconfig" or the

TOOLS-SOFTWARE EXPLORER feature in Windows Defender to stop this program from loading at startup.
