According to google:Search all instances of PSAPI.DLL on your system. See which one is the newest. Then in a command prompt type regsvr32 full_path_to_the_most_recent_file
If the path contains any spaces (such as c:\program files\...) then put the path between quotes.The Process Status Helper (psapi.dll) is a standard component in W2k and XP, and GetProcessImageFileNameW is a standard function within the library. So, going to the command prompt and running sfc /scannow should replace the missing dll.Happy chappy0 -
Assuming this happenned after an IE7 update?
The thread link below should solve your problem. Worked for me!
