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?
Thanks for the help -- I have hope again!
