IPHLPAPI.DLL File Upgrade to AOL 9.0

Ever since I upgraded from AOL 8.0 to AOL 9.0 Optimized
When starting the computer I get the following message

The IPHLPAPI.DLL file cannot start. Checl file to determine
the problem.

I don't know how to access this file.

to version 8.

For most folks this problem is caused by installing AOL9 since AOL 9 uses
a
different version of iphlpapi.dll than is included with Win Me and fails
to
install it correctly. It appears that after over three years AOL's
programmers have yet to understand and appreciate the benefits of system
file
protection whether it be in Win Me or perhaps even XP. You can check this
for
yourself where you will find that AOL have put a version of iphlpapi.dll
in
the Program Files/Common Files/AOL/ACS/winme folder which differs from
that in
the windows\system folder.

Since the copy of iphlpapi.dll in the windows\system folder is protected
from
alteration or deletion by Win Me's System File Protection (SFP) it cannot
simply be replaced by the copy in the AOL folder. Whilst there are ways
of
defeating SFP so that AOL's file can be added to the system folder I
personally feel this is a problem that needs to be remedied by AOL. All
they
need to do is to supply the necessary certificate and the version in the
system folder can be replaced.

You may want to consider using System Restore to solve this problem by
rolling back your system to before the problem started and dumping AOL 9
until
AOL can get things working correctly (just don't hold your breath)
provided
that that was not more than a few days ago.

I had the same problem when I upgraded -- there is an
article on the Microsoft knowledge base which will walk
you thourgh the process of finding it, using the search
for files or folders command, delete it and have Windows
reinstall it on re start --

I no longer get the message
