.DLL file missing

Fortyfoot

A friend of mine who is an MSE member keeps getting the following mesage
"Error starting program: a required .DLL file blah blah...MSVCRT40.DLL was not found."
Any ideas as to how to stop this happening?
Thanks,
Fortyfoot

Hi

There is another thread on here where people are getting this sort of message after their computer restarts after the latest update from windows?!?!

I had this problem and I just went to start, run typed in msconfig and disabled the downloaded dll file in 'start'. It's got rid of the error message but anyone know why I would want this file anyway???

This is the message I and others are getting after the update:

the system dll user32.dll was relocated in memory.
the application wil not run properly.
the relocation occured because the dll c:windows/system32/HHCTRL.OCX occupied an address range reserved fo windows system dll's.
the vendor supplying the dll should be contacted for a new dll

What is going on????

Cheers

DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library, and they are shared common files, used by Windows and loads of other programs. An analogy is that it means that you don't have to re-invent the wheel if you design a new car. On paper, this is a great idea. In practice, however, bad (arrogant) programming on the part of one new program can make changes that adversely affect others and, as they are changed so regularly, they have more chances of getting corrupted and "go missing" as far as the software that needs them is concerned.

You have Realtek HD Audio Control Panel. Disabling it in msconfig only prevents Windows starting the program when the computer starts up; if you run it via Start - All Programs the error will occur. You need to download and install the Microsoft fix from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935448/. See the Causes section for why this problem has suddenly occurred.

Yep that happened to me. I have done a system restore to before I did the windows update and all is fine again.
