IPHLPAPI.dll file cannot start

Todd Matherne · Feb 1, 2004

Running Windows ME
Word 2000
AOL 9.0
512k ram and a gig of hard disk space

1) Word will not open and freezes computer - must shut
down power

2) Message on start-up: The IPHLPAPI.DLL file cannot start

I have run a search for such file and no file exists.

Just want Word to run.

Thanks, Todd

The file has something to do with Internet Explorer. For example, see
"Iphlpapi.dll Error Message with a 16-Bit Windows Sockets-Based Program" at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=279866 and "Description of the Internet
Explorer Repair Tool" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=194177. The
latter sounds like the place to start if you are using Internet Explorer 5
(or 5.01 or 5.5) or 6.
