I am considering the upgrade of Windows 7 to the free offer of Windows 10 but when I initially tried to do this I get the message saying that the file WIMGAPI:DLL is missing and that the procedure cannot go further without him.  How to install or reinstall this file?

Also, is it safe to download and install Windows 10 and I can go back to Windows 7 if I decide that's not for me?  I know I have to do a full upward and would like someone also tell me the best way to do it.

    What can at the factory to reset the laptop without the CD with Windows 7?

    Hello

    I understand that you are trying to reset the PC to the factory settings (without CD) and you receive these errors. I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

    • What is the brand and model of the PC?
    • Are you facing problems with the PC you want to reset to factory settings?
    • Which operating system was installed when you bought the PC?

    The error you receive may be due to a corrupt disk sector or your recovery partition is corrupted.

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition.

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands:

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery disks.

    After the reset, you should count with all updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

    Note: Back up your data prior to factory reset.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Thank you

    Bob

    When a Google search for a file like this arises without success (as suggested by Aleander22), this almost always means that the file is malware.

    The 'missing file' message usually indicates when the computer starts because you had an anti-malware application remove the bad real file (in your case arimajapimogud.dll) but not the mechanism that wants to load this file at system startup.

    As a first step to download, install, update and run these two free antimalware scanner:

    MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    If these analyses don't find and remove the culprit, you find it manually.

    Because it is a dll file, it can be a bit difficult to identify the calling program, because it will have a different name.  I suggest that you download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and let scanner.  When the scan is finished, click the 'connection '.  Most of the entries should be easily identifiable.  Autoruns displays a lot of information in tabs other than "logon".  Some of the elements of tabs other than the logon are critical, so do not uncheck (and certainly, do not delete) at random.

    If you see something strange, Google it.  If you are not sure of an entry in the connection tab, clear the check box next to it.  Reset.  If the message does not return, you can rerun Autoruns and 'delete' of the element that you have unchecked.  If something breaks, re - run Autoruns and put the check in the box and the item will start the next time you start Windows.

  • 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.

  • How to include a .lvlib in a generation that was created using a custom .dll file

    I am trying to build an executable in LV2010 which uses a .lvlib which was created using a Keyence .dll file. I added the .lvlib to the source as "Still included" files and I also added all the files "Always included." library .vi I always get the error message saying "Lack the external function" during the execution of the program. The executable seems to open properly on the development computer, but not on a secondary computer. Any ideas?

    Hi Harris,

    I would like to clarify a few points.

    -With all these configurations that you described above, the executable file worked properly on the development computer?

    -L'application works correctly on the development computer outside a build specification, just running in LabVIEW?

    -Have you tried to deploy the executable on multiple computers, and you see the same error on every computer other than the development computer?

    -Is there a software that must be installed so that the TMIF.dll to work? This software is installed on the deployment computer?

    It seems that the DLL is included with success, but for some reason, the function appears as missing. Also, I noticed that the error message has a: C at the end of the message, which makes me wonder - is this a C DLL or a Windows DLL (.NET)?

  • 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.

    Bonnie

    Try to run, type: cmd cmd type: verificateur auditor files SFC SCANNOW once windows starts, insert the

    XP CD, leave the screen. The File Checker runs automatically, at least with XP home & PRO. Also check this

    link for info MCE & SFC. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/909059

    In addition, sfc is thru, remove xp cd, type: CHKDSK C: /F agree to restart, exit cmd, restart the pc.

    If the problems persist, open the event viewer & see what problems or specific files are always in need of attention...

  • HOW TO REPLACE THE MISSING DLL FILES?

    I deleted the 3 DLL files when I deleted viruses from my Vista laptop. I get the windows error that they lack whenever it loads at startup.

    I use a laptop Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista. I have all the MS updates. I have the OEM DVD supplied with my purchase.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    So, run regedit.exe, and then search for dll files and remove entries.

    I read that some discussions in different forums and in most cases the new OS installation may solve this problem. The HAL.dll in place in C:\Windows\system32 then maybe you could solve this problem in copy this file from the Vista CD in this folder
