Errors after SP3 update

I've just updated one of my WinXP systems to SP3. Now when it starts up I
get two error messages, one after the other:

The procedure entry point apsSearchInterface could not be located in the
dynamic link library wlanapi.dll.

The procedure entry point apsInitialize could not be located in the dynamic
link library wlanapi.dll.


Clicking OK on each of these closes it and then Windows seems to run
normally, but something must be adrift here. Restarting just produces the
same two error messages every time. How do I fix this?

Download the latest driver for your D-Link Adapter/Wireless NIC:

Hmmm. I thought I had the latest driver (it's a system just put together a
few weeks ago), but I'll try that.

I had assumed that the wlanapi.dll was part of the SP3 update, but from what
you say I guess not. I never got those error messages under SP2 -- so this
new driver is just required by SP3?

Thanks.

Well, I guess I'm out of luck. My D-Link adapter is a DWL-G510 (rev. B) and
they only have new drivers for the revision C of that card. I'm assuming it
wouldn't be a good idea to try that.

But thanks, you have identified the problem all right.

"When this error comes up, you can download the Windows Hot Fix KB918997

be restarted for the changes to take effect."

Thanks. But on the Microsoft pages with this KB item (a year or more old) it
seems to reference only SP2.

I've queried D-Link about the problem and hope they'll have a fix.

Why did you "upgrade"? Was there a existing problem you were trying to
fix?
