apdproxy.exe application error

[SAM]

On startup I receive error message 0xc0150002 which states I need SP1A
reinstalled on my PC. When I try to find SP1a, I find that it is no longer
supported by Microsoft. When I check for updates (using Microsoft), I am
told that my system is current. I do not know now to correct the error
message. Can anyone help?

Should I just reinstall Photoshop Elements?

Hold down the Windows key and press Pause | Break. On the resulting
screen, the service pack level of your operating system is reported.
It should be SP3, which came out a couple of weeks ago, but if you
don't have that, you should at least have SP2, which came out in
August 2004.

If you have SP2 or SP3, you already have, and don't need, SP1a.

When I check for updates (using Microsoft), I am
told that my system is current. I do not know now to correct the error
message. Can anyone help?

First tell us what SP level you are at.

Should I just reinstall Photoshop Elements?

Is it Elements that's giving you the error message?

I have SP 3 but I still get the error message whenever I start up the PC. It
requires I terminate the apdproxy.exe application each time. I know I
shouldn't "need" it, I just want to know how to stop the error message.

It's apparently some application that's putting up the message. The
first thing you need to do is identify what application it is.

My guess is that it's a very poorly-written application that doesn't
recognize SP as being later than, and including, SP1.

I have adproxy.exe (Adobe Photo Downloader) running with SP3 on two
different computers without any problems.

Suggest you uninstall Photo Elements then reinstall the program and see if
that solves your problem.

Me? I'm not the one with the problem. I responded to the OP.

Please be careful to reply to the correct message, not any old one in
the thread.
