If you suspect that you’ve accidentally deleted the file, but you’ve already emptied the Recycle Bin, you may be able to recover it with a free file recovery program. To do this, go into the installation folder for the game and rename the file to something else, like iphlpapi_old.dll. This will stop the game from using that specific DLL file; it will instead revert to a newer version included with Windows. If the hardware fails any of your tests, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as possible.
