SHLWAPI.dll error - is there a fix

Does anyone know how to fix this error? When I boot up the computer, I get to the blue welcome screen, and it stays there longer than normal. It goes to my desktop, but before the icons come up, I get the following message in a dialog box with "Explorer.exe" as a title: "Procedure entry point SHCreateThreadRef could not be located in the dll SHLWAPI.dll"
I tried to boot into safe mode, and I still got the error message. I tried to start from "Last Known Good Configuration" but that didn't work either. I tried to take all unneeded files out of the startup menu on the "msconfig" screen. This didn't help. Has anyone seen this before? I suppose I could run the restore disks, but I don't want to do that if I don't have to.
