Error Loading the Tcp Mib library

I know this was asked and answered already ...but the solution presented does not work for me...
I am running Windows 7 and i get the same error message as soon as i want to connect to a Network Printer.
I checked for the files and they are in systemroot\system32\

This used to work for Vista ... you can try on W7.
Copied from another forum:

CAUSE
This behavior may occur if a third-party version of the Wsnmp32.dll,
Ntprint.dll, Tcpmib.dll, Mgmtapi.dll, or Snmpapi.dll file has been copied to
the %SystemRoot% folder.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, rename or delete these files in the %SystemRoot%
folder. These files are taking precedence over the Microsoft-supplied file in
the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.

I found the Snmpapi.dll under the root folder, renamed it (for safety
reasons) and it worked like a dream.... didn't even have to reboot. I was
able to configure my port, correct the IP address and now my printer works
again... Hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.. Have a
wonderful day ... I know I will!

The one problem with your post "Wraithbone:" is this.

"Please rename the files in sytem32, and let the default .dll's take over."

You want to rename the files in %SystemRoot% NOT %SystemRoot%\system32

System32 has the correct files. %SystemRoot% has the incorrect ones.
