Since upgrading to XP SP2 I get various error reports regarding OLEAUT32.dll
fil:

Ad-Aware no longer opens as: "The procedure entry point VarNot could not be
located in the dynamic link library OLEAUT32.dll"

My Real and media players sometimes do not open as "The ordinal 176 could
not be located in the dynamic link library OLEAUT32.dll"

And various other incarnations saying the file is "out of date" or "requires
a new version"

What could be the problem and how can it be remedied?

Thanks for any suggestions
