error message saying "TESV.exe - bad Image. d3dx9_42.dll not is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.

original title: Skyrim .dll error
When I press play on the Skyrim Launcher button, nothing happens. I tried to open the folder and run the TESV.exe and got an error message saying "TESV.exe - bad Image. d3dx9_42.dll not is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor"I run Windows 7 Ultimate, and I've updated all my drivers and directX and uninstalled and reinstalled Skyrim repeatedly. I replaced the DLL in question and also organize sfc/scannow. Nothing seems to work, I tried all of the solutions I found online, nothing helps.

I really want to start playing this game... huge fan of Elder Scrolls...

Hi MattHamlyn,

 

1. did you do with the last changes made to your computer before this show?

2 you are logged as administrator?

3 you are installing the game online or using a CD/DVD?

 


I suggest you to follow the steps below and check.

 

Method 1:

I guess that your operating system is Windows 7 64 bit.

1. click on the Start button.

2. Select computers

3. click on your C: drive

4 program Files (x 86)

5 steam
6 Steamapps

7 common

8 Skyrim

9 TESV
TESV is the game itself.

 

 

Method 2: put the computer to boot and check if you can play the game:

Note: after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

 

 

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

  • MSASCui.exe bad Image... C:\Program Files/Windows Defender/Mp.Rt.Mon.DLL is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.

    Original title : A major problem with Windows Defender... will not run :(

    When I go to run Windows Defender, I get this message: MSASCui.exe bad Image... C:\Program Files/Windows Defender/Mp.Rt.Mon.DLL is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.  Then, after clicking OK, you get another small window saying "Windows Defender User Interface has stopped working... Search for an online solution and close the program (which does nothing) or close the program.    WHY?  McAfee scan says there is nothing wrong with the computer... There is something wrong. Impossible to get websites to find, or they are very slow.

    I have VISTA Home Basic edition, Emachine, bought 32 year THAT VISTA was released this January.

    That is to say 9 - seems to work better than 8 (which took awhile to do)

    SP2 is installed and I believe that most, if not all the updates are installed.

    Oh, and no matter what flash supported won't run... little is a nice way of saying. My flash player update. It is mess up until I had to update. :(

    Try the suggestion of Azam K.  If this help not to do the following:

    https://community.McAfee.com/message/208529

    McAfee should have disabled Windows Defender.  If not, or if you did turn back on, you must turn it off.  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off   Windows Defender cannot be uninstalled from the Vista OS, but can be disabled to avoid conflict with other programs.

    You will probably need to uninstall Flash and reinstall it: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/

    I don't really like to make a negative comment on an anti-malware program, but McAfee has a reputation for sometimes bogged down operating systems.  If your problem persists, you will need to uninstall McAfee (to include using the McAfee removal tool) and see if that has any impact on your computer problems.  If there is an improvement, you may consider trying another program BC

    This happens at startup when programs open ie. audio and whenever I try to open a program, in this case MS Word. I click the OK button several times and he goes and allows me to work in the program.

    Hi deacon829,

    You did changes to the computer before that happened?

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below,

    Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2: If you try to install any application before this program, try to uninstall them.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    If this solves the problem, you can deduct that the demand is probably corrupted, damaged or incompatible. You can check with the manufacturer of the program for more information.

    Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.

    This could be caused due to damaged DLL files.
