Ah, good point. I used Windows' Search tool to look, and one never knows where that looks. So, I searched the PATH manually, and found nothing obvious. Do you have any good tips for finding renamed .dll's? A size range perhaps? Or an alternative search tool other than 'find', since that doesn't work right now, obviously :( The problem with this theory is that it was working fine just before the upgrade, and not working just after. Is it possible that this message is a red herring, hiding some other problem?
