    Original title: WINDOWS 7. DLL FILE MISSING

    I have a problem when I run this game that an error pops up saying that my d3dx10_.dll file is missing what to do

    can any body help me

    Hey Kevindran,

    What game are you talking about?

    D3dx10.dll problems result in one way or another by a problem with Microsoft DirectX. The file d3dx10.dll is one of many files in the DirectX software collection. Because DirectX is used by most Windows-based games and graphics programs advancements, d3dx10.dll errors usually only appear when you use these programs.

    Here's what you can do to fix the error.

    1. find a DirectX installer on your game folder or installation CD or DVD. Usually, if a game uses DirectX, software developers includes a copy of DirectX on the installation disc.

    2. Uninstall the game and then reinstall it again. Something could have happened to the files in the program work with d3dx10.dll and a reinstall might do the trick.

  • error message saying a .dll file is missing when I try to acess Mngr.vdmdbg task not found.

    I have uninstalled or deleted my Windows XP Pro VDMDBG.dll because I received error messages after

    I am now using the same IDE on this DIY PC like what I used to have XP Pro running. I ran an upgrade or r disc install to resign the drivers and at the same time you run some programs to uninstall some of the OLD drivers of the motherboard and temporary files, but I must have too deep because now, I have only this error message telling me that a .dll file is missing when I try to acess Mngr.vdmdbg task was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Where can I go to download or difficulty this annoyance file or program? Thankx again! -Al

    Sounds messy.

    If you see a message like this:

    Taskmgr.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because VDMDBG.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, it cannot save the file with an extension (for example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called vdmdbg when the name of the file should really be called vdmdbg.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    PS Microsoft support engineers - "try running sfc/scannow and check if it helps" will not replace the missing vdmdbg.dll file because it is not what sfc/scannow does.  If you want to see an experiment to prove that, let me know because I have a ready-made.

  • Missing or corrupt hal.dll file. Computer will not start in XP

    All of a sudden my computer does not open in XP.  Says it has a corrupt or missing hal.dll file I don't ' have a Windows XP CD.  What I can to correct without losing what is on the computer?  Must have been an update last night, because it was working fine before.

    The usual problem with this message is not the hal.dll file is missing or corrupted - it usually just means that XP cannot find it to be abandoned because the file system has somehow got corrupted something like a power interruption, restart or abnormal termination... or your c:\boot.ini file is somehow corrupted (or both!).

    You will have to start on something to fix.

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (This includes the plug pulling, power buttons, remove the battery, etc.).

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Then, you perform a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery first Console and report back how it works (which may be all you need to do):

    Here's how:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • XP MCE said dll files are missing, maybe others. Starting price. Runs. Must fix. My files are corrupt? Terrified Novice needs help...

    Hello

    Please help me solve this computer.  I am an elderly person, not technical and I need to fix it myself if possible.  I studied the system widely.  I don't have the skills or knowledge needed to implement a fix.

    What worries me, is that my files have been damaged by the problems on this computer.  I don't know how to say.

    The system was custom built, not a branded computer.  I have 3 drives, all Originals Microsoft.  XPMCE disks (there are 2) say 2005 on them, the 3rd disc says Version 2005 updates.  He said not cumulative on the third disc. I don't know what that means... I don't know there was also a cumulative 2006 for XP... final.  XP Pro is 2002.

    I installed updates as much as I could, but am stuck with SP2, and I know that the system is vulnerable because of the missing updates.   I want to fix non-destructive if possible.

    Langa claimed it was possible, but he did not speak MCE, but Pro, and they are not the same.  I know not what integrators were not allowed to provide (food?) discs with this particular Version.  I've never done of all disks (experience, is what you get right after that you need), but I'm not sure that the system was perfect when I got it...  I don't have any other type of disk.  I learned that one must save or image the system, so it can be restored.

    The system starts and runs. But the SP3 update can "t be installed.  A program to work indicating that a dll file is missing.  In addition, the system restore stopped working.  I was told the system restore often confuses things and can 'break' installed AV and perhaps other programs, due to conflicts between Windows restoration files and programs that are not part of Windows in terms of time.

    I've always run AntiVirus and MBAM.  I have the instructions step by step for what I could try.

    I would like to find a list of parameters that should be enabled or disabled in different areas... so I can check that they are correct.  The area called services and to uninstall Windows components, I worry.

    I have not really requires... because I don't know how to get the information on this computer.  I ran the Scan Now command and he said I should put in discs... There are 3?   I'm afraid to do anything until I have found on the backup and the possibility of corruption of my files.  I'll have to print files, rather than risk losing things.  My drive back to stop working, don't know if it is related to the lack of files or settings to be wrong.

    Thank you for reading this... I tried to write paragraphs, to make it a bit clearer, I hope that it appears that way.

  • Error message: lack of DLL files for all installed programs.

    When I connect I get an error message for each startup program indicating that a DLL file is missing. This also occurs whenever I try to open a program. My laptop is now 4 years old and supposed to be running the Media Center Edition Version 2002 XP, but I don't the had not used for a long time, and it will not open at all now. I don't want to have to reinstall the operating system I have almost 100 GB of programs that I have bought and downloaded. In addition, it leaves me not make a back up of my DVD - RW drive. I tried to use a DVD and a CD, the only thing that works is a flash drive, but I have two 4 GB flash drives, cannot find, but at the current time and the other is 512 MB. Don't know if that makes a difference, but it's a Gateway computer and SP3 is already installed.  I also have problems with automatic updates is no longer installed. When I sent an email to Microsoft their tech support told me to remove the 2 programs, I don't remember which, but it was something 2.0, 3.5 and 5 and now I can't get back them on the computer. In any case, I hope someone can help, because I can't let me put my laptop in the store.  He is already on a wing and a prayer with one hinge broken, but other than the problems that I've listed most are boring, it's a very good computer. And considering that I paid nearly $1,000 for him in 2007, I don't have the necessary funds to replace at this time or that I said even repaired. I hope I can do what to do myself for as long as the software is that anyone can give me instructions step by step.  Thank you.

    There is a detailed post and we appreciate the effort you put in.  But your post is in the forum of the people who use anti-malware Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) program and this issue does not appear to be linked to the MSE.

    Maybe you deleted the Framework Net updates but I don't know why and certainly cannot be sure of this at the moment.  Your questions may best be resolved if ask you for help at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us.  Suggest you try the XP or Windows Update Forums.
