That means nothing.  I don't know -why- it would be looking for those,
either.  It doesn't need any of them.  First one is related to Windows
Station, and the only thing I can see it -maybe- needing there is the
clipboard, which I doubt, since it's running in a console window.  Second
one is a Terminal Services library--shouldn't be needed.  Third is usually
used by setup programs and installers--also shouldn't be needed.

I used to use filemon.  It's actually worthless half the time.  You should
see what APC PowerChute is listed as querying every 5 seconds or less, as
well as some other programs like Steam, etc.

The most relevant information would be a comparative checksum of the binary
that failed, and its replacement.
