This is generally supplied on a per application basis, found within the
folder of the application. Process status helper - Microsoft - which may be
many different versions ...

The one I've got is in a Compaq folder...

Psapi.dll
Desc: Process Status Helper
Loc: C:\compaq\CPQInet
Size: 18,192 bytes
Mod: Monday, May 10, 1999 11:25:28 AM
Ver: 4.00

It is not in my Win98SE .cab files. It appears to be part of "Compaq
Connection Helper". Anyhow, that is the Help Screen I get, when I click
"cch.chm", which also is in that folder.

Do you have that folder-- "C:\compaq\CPQInet"? Do you have a means to
reinstall the Compaq Connection Helper? (Of course, "Psapi.dll" may be
part of other applications as well.)

Re: .dll file,psapi.dll

Yes, as MEB mentioned, it is supplied by the application when installed, if needed.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 (which doesn't install on Win98, BTW), for example, adds a
version of the file to its folder.

A couple of years ago there was a rash of psapi.dll error messages being posted in
the 98 groups, caused by a CoolWebSearch variant apparently aimed at XP, that
expected to find the file.

Process Status API (PSAPI) library
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684884.aspx

If the OP is getting an error about the file being missing, either the program
looking for it needs to supply it but doesn't, or the program is not intended for
Win98.

I see. MEB hit it on the button, then, (but his post actually wasn't
showing until after I posted mine). I thought it might be something like
that, because inside the Properties of Psapi.dll is mention that
Microsoft actually wrote it.

So... as you have seconded, gwyn may need to over-install the particular
app that is complaining about the missing .dll-- which for her may not
be the Compaq Connection Helper at all.

Uhuh. It didn't come with my earlier version of AAR.

I see. Some app may be presuming the file is already installed to a
system folder, but normally Win98 won't have it. Actually, as mine is in
a Compaq folder (CPQInet\), no stray app can really use mine, either!
OK, thanks.
