SP3 and Dlink Wireless NIC problem (partially solved)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I installed SP3 on a XP Pro computer using a Dlink DWL-G510B wireless NIC.
After the installation I got the following error message with every boot.

"AirGCFG.exe - Entry Point Not Found
the procedure entry point apsSearchInterface could not be located in the dynamic link library
wlanapi.dll"

It seems SP3 installs a new version wlanapi.dll that is not compatible with AirGCFG.exe.
The NIC works and wireless connects, just have the boot error message.
I tried to get an older version of wlanapi.dll, but could not find one in either the driver files
from Dlink or on the web.

I emailed Dlink, but no response yet.

Did find that AirGCFG.exe is the Dlink NIC monitoring program that loads as a TSR (but does not show
in MSCONFIG).
Windows Defender (Software Explorer) showed it and allowed me to disable it as a TSR.
Now I do not get the boot error message and the NIC still works.

Will post back if I get a reply from Dlink.
