apoint.exe unable to load dll

At start up i get a message from apoint.exe that says unable to load dll. I can't run internet explorer or instant messenger, and I don't know how to fix it. I tried running AutoRuns by Microsoft, but it didn't change anything. Also, last night I downloaded itunes, if that makes a difference. I don't get the message at start up every time, but some of my programs aren't working. Do you have any tips for me to get my computer back to normal? Thanks.

 

Hi Pete, thanks for your help. I am running a laptop, and I'm having no problems using my touchpad. I installed itunes last night to move music from my ipod to my laptop, but I didn't change any settings or download anything other than itunes. This morning when I rebooted my computer, internet explorer and instant messenter (both of which I use every day) no longer would load, and I saw the message apoint.exe failed to load dll. You suggested that I reload the drivers for the touchpad. Do you still recommend this? How would I go about doing that? I'm a bit of a novice with technology Thanks again!

 

Thanks Pete. I'll try uninstalling iTunes later on to see if that fixes the problem. I found a website last night that helped me load all of my music from my ipod onto itunes on this laptop. the old computer that i used to hold my itunes on crashed. i suppose that itunes may be causing these problems. though i still don't know why itunes would be affecting apoint.exe which apparently has to do with my touchpad. anyway, thanks again, and maybe we'll be in touch again soon (if this doesn't work!)

 

I am having the same issue as ilg, but it has nothing to do with itunes. My touchpad is not working properly. I cannot scroll with it and when I tap the corners of it it does not bring up the things that I have it programmed to bring up. Other than those issues it works fine. I also believe that my IE is messed up. I have Yahoo toolbar and it usually tells me if I have a new message and it no longer does that and it will occassionally flash. I hope I don't have to wipe my computer
