"...could not be located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll"
I had this same problem after upgrading to sp3.I have a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 Wireless pci adapter.(DESKTOP PC)
A very simple fix is to:

1.Boot in safemode with networking (F8 on start up)
2.Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32
3.You will probably find two "wlanapi.dll"
  that is: wlanapi.dll and wlanapi(2).dll
4.wlanapi(2).dll is from sp3 (didn't overwrite
  previous one.)
5.Delete wlanapi.dll and rename wlanapi(2).dll to 
  wlanapi.dll and reboot.
6.Worked fine for me

Get the SP3 compatible update for your D-Link software/driver.
For details, search archive of this NG, this has been already discussed
here.

I fixed problem by uninstalling SP3. Easiest way to fix problem what MS made.
