The old file version number as you gave it to me is: 5.1.2600.1106

Is the error message the same (corrupt file) with the replacement file 
as it was with the original file? If it is, rename the new file to an 
extension of ".old" and rename the old file back from ".old" to ".dll". 
In essence, go back to where you were before.

It appears that the file is related to Instant Messenger rather than the OS.

If you look in control panel/add & remove programs, see if Instant 
Messenger is in the list of programs. If so, clicking on "remove" for IM 
may bring up a choice to "repair". If so, try repairing IM. As I've 
said, I never use IM and am only guessing as to this effort.

If none of this helps, someone else needs to help you as I've exhausted 
my advice.

Good luck.
