IPHLAPAPI.DLL since installing Netscape v7

Hi all -

I have just started getting the IPHLAPAPI.DLL error "The IPHLPAPI.DLL file
cannot start. Check the file to determine the problem" after my PC has been
in sleep mode for a while with a window (one or more) open. It does not
happen if a window is not open. I have never had this problem before. But,
I've not had this version of Netscape before either.

I did not deliberately install AOL, nor do I use i or want it, but, I think
it got loaded when I installed Netscape v7. I am using the Composer part of
the NS v7 for creating webpages for my website. But, I would never install
AOL.

I checked the Add/Remove and the AOL is not there. It can happen when any
windows are open, but, usually when the OE windows are open. The uninstall
shows in the Search to be in the Windows\Application, but, there is no such
folder in my Windows folder that I can find, only Application Data, and the
Windows\Application does not have Data after it. When I doubleclick on it,
nothing happens. So, guess that is not a good file. AOL is listed as AOD in
Program Files. I have tried a SR to a point prior to the problem, but, my
RP's don't go back that far.

I want to get rid of the AOL without getting rid of NS v7 too, if possible.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or information on how to do this.

Best regards,

Jan

AOL does NOT install as part of Netscape - although AOL do/did own it. (AOL
actually use IE as its interface to the Web - and AFAIK, it has abandoned
Netscape development)

If AOL is installed, by default it will go into the folder C:\Program
Files\AOL

Hi Noel -

Netscape development)

If AOL is installed, by default it will go into the folder C:\Program
Files\AOL

But...but...there is no AOL folder on the Program Files folder, just the
AOD, and it has the AOL folders and files in it. There is the Aol/Aod file,
and the NAOL file, and when I go to the AOD\ShareDir it only has the
Netscape file in it. There is also the AIM and all that nonsense as part of
the Netscape set up.

When I started to set up NS it prompted me to set up the AIM and such and I
didn't want to. I didn't think much about it at the moment, but, then when
the error started coming up, and I knew it usually had to do with AOL, I
started looking and bingo, there it is. But, I did *not* voluntarily
install AOL. The way it shows is that it is part of Netscape. This is the
NS free version, and the AOL says it is the Free AOL & Unlimited Internet,
v1.0.0.62. They both showed up at the same time. Since both programs are
free versions, perhaps they packaged the two together. I did not have AOL
before I got NS, and I would not have ever installed it.

Being downloaded with Netscape is the only way I can see that it got there,
unless it installed itself. But, if it was a separate install, then how/why
would it have the NS file in the ShareDir? Puzzles me. But then...that's
rather easy. ;-)

Thanks, Noel.

The only thing I can think of is that when AOL bought Nutscrape, they
moneyed around with it a lot.....hang on - didn't they play with setting up
NutScrape as an ISP? - if so, then that may be the reason for your problems!

I'd suggest uninstalling Nutscrape - see if that solves the problem.

If it does, then see if the AOL-related folders are gone too.

- you could try d/ling NS Navigator only - which seems to come without the
trimmings - look here

I uninstalled the NS, and the all the AOL related folders were still there,
but, all the files in them were gone. So....guess that answered the question
of if it was packaged with NS. I did a Search and Registry Find to make
sure I got all the cobwebs too, just to be sure. And yes...I did back up my
Registry first. See..I'm a good student. A bit slow perhaps...but, I
eventually learn....:-))

- you could try d/ling NS Navigator only - which seems to come without

Problem with just the Navigator only is that it doesn't have the Composer,
which is all I was after with NS in the first place. So..guess I'll have to
find another proggy to do that in.

Well...so much for that experiment... but, at least now you, and others,
know that the full program of NS v7.1 does load AOL with it, like it or not.
;-)

Thank you for you help, I really do appreciate it.

I'll have a play sometime - see if I can strip it out (rather busy this
week, though)
