First off most API kicks can be solved by cleaning your system.
For example API kick 131129 is pretty much always caused by a Trojan/Virus. Specifically "Trojan.Horse.BackDoor.Agent.BA" which Norton took way to long to detect and still doesn't detect reliably. Grisofts AVG Free detected it with out and update and can be had for Free. Simply visit
http://free.grisoft.com/ and get the free version. They also have a free Spyware Program and an Anti-Root kit to get rid of the nasty crap Music and Movie studios try to install on your computer.
