I currently run Windows ME. Whenever I start up my
computer it tells me ERROR STARTING PROGRAM: A
required .dll file PSAPI.DLL was not found. But the file
does sit in my computer in C:\windows\options\CABS. Is it
in the right folder? Do I need to re-copy the file, and
put it another folder? HELP

psapi.dll is not a Win Me file although included as part of MS Office and with
Win 2K/XP systems. You appear to have acquired a version that is intended for
use with the XP operating system.

I believe that you have a variation of the CoolWebSearch parasite so I would
suggest that you download and use the CWShredder tool to remove it if present
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip). Unfortunately
neither AdAware or SpyBot seem to be able as yet to detect the CoolWebSearch
parasite as it keeps changing. For more details of the CoolWebSearch parasite
see http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html.
