error vistasprostrate.dll

At startup, my windows 7 gives an error "there was a problem starting VistasProstrate.dll the specified module could not be found. I don't have vista, I have windows 7. I can't understand what it is or what to do about it.  Nothing came with Googleing it.

Looking for errors like this by doing a search on Google for the name of the file.  Usually, they turn up without success.

When a search in no hits or suspicious hits result, the answer is usually that the file in question is linked to the malicious software and your anti-malware application has deleted or quarantined file, but left to the Windows registry entry that tries to start the malicious software when you start your computer.

In your case, the file is malware-oriented.  See https://www.reasoncoresecurity.com/vistasprostrate.dll-498059d99d3daf4247884d6aeeeb0582d7b68797.aspx

First of all, download, install, update and run full scans with two of these free analytical tools:

MalwareBytes AntiMalware
SUPERAntiSpyware

Do not run the scans at the same time.  They can take some time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore for awhile.

If the scans does not solve the problem (and they can't, because the actual malware file has already been processed), then download and run Autoruns.  Click on the "Connection" tab and look in the column 'Image path' for the dll named in your error message.  If it is not displayed in the connection tab, click the "all" tab and use the file > search tool.  A characteristic of the search of Autoruns tool is that you must move the selection under the element line "found" before you "Find Next."

Once you find the line with the file in question, either "delete" or (if you want to be safer) uncheck the box.  The latter prevents the line running, but you can reactivate later by replacing the box.

  • error d3dx9_32.dll

    model: HP 15-d000sia
    I try to install 2 a game after installation I couldn't open it, a box pops up saying lack of d3dx9_32.DLL
    Please help me!

    Hi @israelio

    I understand that you found an error in dll missing after installation, and you try to run a game. I'm happy to help you.

    The dll error you describe is due to a problem with your installation of directx.

    Take a look at this page which is after a little research:

    How to difficulty D3dx9_32.dll not found or missing errors - about.com

  • How can I fix error d3d9.dll

    How can I fix the error d3d9.dll

    Hi Antony,

    1. when exactly did you D3D9. DLL error?

    2 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

    3. what version of Windows is installed on your computer?

    D3d9.dll problems result in one way or another by a problem with Microsoft DirectX.

    The file d3d9.dll and d3d10_1.dll is one of many files in the DirectX software collection. Because DirectX is used by most Windows-based games and graphics programs advancements, d3d9.dll errors usually only appear when you use these programs.

    Important note: Do not download the file d3d9.dll individually any "DLL download site."

    Note: If you have already downloaded the d3d9.dll in these places to download DLL, remove it from everywhere where put you it and continue with the following steps.

    Step 1:

    Restart your computer if you have not yet.

    D3d9.dll error may be a stroke of luck and a simple restart could clear up completely.

    Note: the latest version of DirectX should be installed no matter if you are on Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. Installation can include DirectX9 and DirectX10 files but they run side-by-side without problem on all these operating systems.

    Step 2:

    Install the update from the link below and check if the problem is resolved.

    End-user Runtime Web install DirectX
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=2da43d38-DB71-4C1B-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

    Step 3:

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
     
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
     
    Note: after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Step 4:

    System File Checker Scan SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

  • error message "Error in Script" line 30, tank: 3, error: error loading DLL, Code: 0, URL: file.

    whenever I boot, I get the following line to the 'Script error' 30, tank: 3, error: error loading DLL, Code: 0, URL: file...

    Question - what should I do to solve this problem.

    Secondly - I installed a new program that came with a new camera.  I have loaded the software but when I try to open it states the following:
    "The program cannot start because MSVCP71.dll absent from your computer."  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.

    I reloaded the program several times and this message continues to invent whenever I try to run the software.

    I believe that these two issues are related.

    I would appreciate help.

    Thank you

    Charlie

    Hi Charlie,

    one) you get error script on Internet explorer?

    (b) what is the brand and model of the camera?

    (c) what is the name of the camera program?

    (d) were there any changes on the computer before the show?

    Follow these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1: You can get the script error if there is a problem with the JavaScript or VBScript code on the Web site you are looking at. Sometimes a script error can be caused by an error during the download of a Web page, but more often it is an error in the Web page itself.

    I suggest you to follow the steps in troubleshooting this article and check if it helps:

    How to troubleshoot script errors in Internet Explorer

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308260/en-us

    Also refer to this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/what-should-you-do-about-internet-explorer-script-errors

    Method 2: Msvcp71.dll is a Microsoft C, C ++ Runtime library, and it is necessary for the performance of several Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications on a Windows System. It is quite possible that there is something wrong with the installation of the camera program files.

    Step 1: The MSVCR71.dll Version comes from Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 with Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326922

    Try download and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable package of this link and check.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=5555

    Step 2: If the error disappear not even once you have reinstalled the application causing the error, then download the DLL from the Internet or copy it from another computer with the same configuration as yours in the directory of the program, which requires that the file.

    Note: you can also copy the file to the C:\Windows\System32\

    After you have copied the file try to open the device program and check.

    Hope this helps, if you need help on Windows let us know we will be happy to help you.
