To work around this error:

* Go to the installation location for SmartBridge (\Program
Files\Verizon...\Smart...)

* Find PSAPI.DLL and rename it to something like PSAPIOLD.DLL

* Restart the computer The program will find the new PSAPI.DLL in the
\Windows\System32 directory and function normally.

1. Motive SmartBridge© is distributing an old version of PSAPI.DLL. As a
result, users might receive the following error message after installation
of Internet Explorer 7:

"SmartBridge Alerts:MotiveSB.exe Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry
point GetProcessImageFileNameW could not be located in the dynamic link
library PSAPI.DLL"

2. Hal Screen Reader and Supernova Reader Magnifier by Dolphin both may stop
responding when users click commands from Internet Explorer’s file menu.
These two programs are shipped with an older version of psapi.dll that
causes the program to stop responding in Internet Explorer 7.

To resolve this error:

* Go to the installation location for SmartBridge (\Program
Files\Verizon...\Smart...) or Dolphin Hal Screen Reader or Supernova Reader
Magnifier.

[Alternately, search in Windows Explorer (WinKey+E) for "PSAPI.DLL" (without
the quotes); you may need to enable Advanced option and the 3 options
underneath it.]

* Find PSAPI.DLL and rename it to something like PSAPIOLD.DLL

* NB: Do NOT rename the PSAPI.DLL file in C:\Windows\System32 directory!

* Restart the computer.

depending of your newsreader, in xnews when an url is splitted on two lines
I first click on the first line, internet explorer opens with an incomplete
url, I come back to the article in xnews select the missing characters in
the url, right-click the selection, click "copy" and paste them at the good
spot in the url in internet explorer and then press enter. You can also
type the address manually.

This utility will prevent IE7 from automatically install as a critical
update. It won't prevent you from willingly installing it.

An individual user doesn't need to run this toolkit to block IE7
installs. This toolkit is intended for administrators who want to
block it on a group of computers. It makes changes to the registry.
Why would you go to all that trouble for a single user? All an
individual user has to do is go to windows update through internet
explorer, do a custom scan, and hide the IE7 update.

I didn't know that so I guess there must be a lot of people that don't
know that either and if they setup automatic updates...

What the toolkit did is that it puts IE7 in Optional updates instead of
Critical updates in the Windows Update page. I didn't find that was much
trouble using that toolkit. Thanks anyway for your info.

Happy new year

You have inferred that people who setup automatic updates will get Internet
Explorer unknowingly...

Automatic Updates does *not* mean the Internet Explorer will get installed.
9 times out of 10 - it will, because users just assume they should click OK
when a popup happens (or 'I agree' or some other affirmative answer..)
After all - nothing that pops up on their LOCAL machine could be bad, right?
*grin*
This is what malware writers DEPEND on..

Visit this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/updatemanagement/windowsupdate/ie7announcement.mspx

Where it states,
"... Automatic Updates Delivery Process: The automatic delivery process will
notify users that an update is available and allow users to choose whether
to install Internet Explorer 7 ..."

and

"... Automatic Updates will only offer Internet Explorer 7
to users with local administrator accounts. Automatic Updates will notify
all such users (including those with Automatic Updates configured to
automatically download and install updates) when Internet Explorer 7 has
been downloaded and is ready to install. The notification and installation
process will not start unless and until a user who is a local administrator
logs on to the machine. Users who are not local administrators will not be
prompted to install the update and will thus continue using Internet
Explorer 6 ..."

The prompt (that even those with Automatic updates enabled) get when
Internet Explorer begins to install can be found in a screenshot on the page
above...

You said it... 9 times out of 10 is a good average.

I don't know nothing, but IE70blocker prevents IE7 to be included with the
critical updates, I wanted to share that and I don't feel it's a lot of
trouble for a single user to use it.

I don't want IE7 on my machine for now and this tool does the job. Thanks.

I was not arguing that the tool was not a good thing for you or it might not
be a good thing for others - although I personally do think it is overkill
for a home user. I was arguing that the problem is not that Internet
Explorer is being offered as a download - but that people do not pay
attention to what they consider nothing more than high-tech toasters that
allow them to pass pictures and jokes amongst family and friends on the
'interweb'...

First - my number is a guess based off nothing more than conjecture and a
slight amount of experience with the 'high-tech toaster' phenomenon I
mentioned. You may offer it all you want - but I and others may feel one
should be offered all alternatives... Such as the fact that the end-user is
not forced into anything if they just 'pay attention'.

Someone else responding in the same thread as you pointing out that fact is
not attacking you personally - they are just making sure that all the facts
are given. There's many ways to do many things. Where I feel it would be
better if people paid more attention to the world around them, you may feel
it is easier to offer up the tool that allows people to remain oblivious if
they desire to. Neither is incorrect.
