I am working on a pc that gets the following message on boot-up IPHLPAPI.DLL can't start. Everything appears to work on the pc though. I downloaded a 'fix' from Microsoft, but the prolem is still happening. It's on all the latest and greatest drivers, and all winme patches have been applied. It doesn't get the message every time you reboot, but 2 out of 3 times. Any ideas?

Run the System File Checker (Run: sfc.exe)
Select the option: Extract one file from installation disk.
Extract the IPHLPAPI.DLL from the Windows98 installation disk and place it in Windows/System folder.
Reboot.

If everything works fine when it does not load, search the registry for IPHLPAPI and delete any entries found.

the message is ref to a dynamic libary link also known as .dll when you delete a program that shared the same dll the program associated with that file made not work.good hand of rule is never delete a ddl file even if your computer says no other programs are using that file.i beleive iphlpapi.dll is a help file try putting in the windows me os disk and this may fix the help file.
