missing file

pc10

Hi,
WHen trying to run hijackthis, i got a message saying it could not run because msvbvm60.dll was missing or corrupt.

I looked in the system32 folder and the file is there.

I googled it and then downloaded the visual basic files again from microsoft - all looked fine but when i then restarted the laptop it said that the file was not installed or was corrupted.

I tried to delete the file from system32 but got a message stating cyclic redundancy check.

Anyone got any ideas how to sort this out please?

Thanks for the replies - I have already tried to download the file again but without success.

I typed that into the 'run' box and it came up with this message:

LoadLibrary("windows\system32\msvbvm60.DLL") failed - The specified module could not be found. (which I presume is not good!)

Any more ideas please?

try

regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\msvbvm60.DLL

to unregister it

then

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\msvbvm60.DLL

to re-register again

Thanks again.....

No luck with that unfortunately.

Got message about load library c:\ windows ...... The specified module could not be found.

Am I fighting a losing battle here?

Thanks for the reply but I have already tried downloading it again and I get a message saying it hasn't been installed as it may be corrupt.
