No problems experienced during upgrade from Windows XP SP2 to SP3. However,
when the computer is booted now an error message appears; AirGCGFG.exe -
Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point apsGetInterfacecount could
not be located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so have you found a solution?

Hi, I have discovered that the file AirGCFG.exe is part of the D-Link
software for my PCMCIA Wireless G Notebook Adapter. Uninstalling this
software has resolved the problem. I presume that when I re-install the
software all will be OK, if not in the words of the Terminator "I will be
back."

or download the latest driver for your D-Link Adapter/Wireless NIC from
D-Link website!

Hi, I'm back. I've just upgraded a second Laptop/notebook computer to SP3,
et voila a similar problem; "WZCSLDR2.exe - Entry Point not found" - The
procedure entry point "apsInitialize" could not be located in the dynamic
library wlanapi.dll. Googling for WZCSLDR2.exe again points to my "D-Link
G54 AirPlus G" wireless Notebook Adapter software, so I presume my next port
of call will be the D-Link website, technical help page. I will return!

I had already thought of that but the driver on the website is dated from 26
August 2006 and the CD supplied with the adapter (March 2008) is the same
version. However, I have now downloaded & installed the website driver,
unfortunately the problem persists.

I have now removed SP3 from one of the computers and all is back to normal.
I have reported the problem to D-Link & presume they will have to provide a
new driver for their software.

Exactly the same problem, but fixed it by going to Windows Defender, Tools - Software Explorer and
disabled AirGCFG.exe from automatically starting at boot.** Now I don't get the error message and
the Dlink NIC card works just fine.
AirGCFG is a NIC monitoring function and the NIC will work without it.
Dlink was advised and reported back that SP3 was still Beta and they may work on the problem after
MS releases the final SP3.
I informed them that they did not know what was what and I would not hold my breath until they fix
the problem.
Found out the problem was due to a new version of the wlanapi.dll file introduced with SP3 that
conflicts with the Dlink monitoring file.

** Note: AirGCFG did not show up in the "msconfig" startup listing. But does show in Windows
Defender, with an explanation of what it does.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for the instructions on how to get around the problem, I will try
out your recommendation this morning. I have also reported the problem to
D-Link, it will be interesting to read their reply to me.
Your information about SP3 being a beta version was interesting. Normally I
don't install beta versions and I did not notice Microsoft warning me that
SP3 is a beta version before I downloaded it.
However I must say that my computer appears to be noticeably faster with the
SP3 upgrade.

Francesco offered a workaround by copying the pre-SP3 version of wlanapi.dll. See:
http://fixunix.com/wireless/395447-w...p3-d-link.html

Based on Francesco's fix, I wrote the followong batch file, SP3-WLAN-Fix.bat

xcopy %Windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$\wlanapi.dll "%ProgramFiles%\D-Link\AirPlus G"
xcopy %Windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$\wlanapi.dll "%ProgramFiles%\ANI\ANIWZCS2 Service"
pause
exit

Ok- not realizing there would be so many versions of wireless decices with
this same problem I incorrectly used one of the fixes list here for wrong
adapter.

If you follow this link to the dlink driver ftp index, you can find the
exact adapter you have and download.
