I believe you are right. The system file checker shows that the file was actually replaced with a different version. It has 0kb and is the x86 version. It is also dated 12/26/14 when it should be 8/22/13.
It just so happens that the error pops up when I click on the "Add eBook" icon. I'm guessing calibre calls that dll or a static association file attached to that dll.
I just found out yesterday that it also popped up twice when I tried to open SysInternal's "Procmon" program.
Unfortunately it looks like the file was corrupted on 1/5/15 and I don't have a restore point that far back. Also can't get admin privileges or activate the hidden (full control) administrator account. I get the error message about that "snap-in" not being available in this version of Windows. Unless anyone knows how to replace a dll system file, I guess I'll have to use refresh pc. Will never buy another Dell.
