  • How can I get rid of the MSVCR90.dll MSVCP90.dll messages?

    Most of the time when I run the application Photoshop CC 2014, a window opens with an error message with "Photoshop cannot start because MSVCR90.dll is missing on your computer. I click OK and another window opens with a similar message, but the MSVCP.dll file is missing. I click OK about six times and then Photoshop CC 2014 begins.

    Looks like you might have copied to plugins in the plugins folder of Photoshop CC to CC Photoshop plugins folder (2014) without using the installation program.  Plugins can install additional files in the main folder of Photoshop that you wear, if you simply copy things into the plugins folder.  Check to see if your computer has two files in installed elsewhere question (Win + F) then copy the files into the folder of Photoshop CC (2014) and see if that helps.

  • wlmail.exe - System Error__The program cannot start because d3d10_1.dll is missing on your computer.

    I got an error serious and chronic with critical update for Silverlight that has not more than once, so until I could find a solution to this problem I always disable this update and 2 other partners to the updates of Microsoft Office that is not too, until I noticed a NEW UPDATE for Windows Mail of life that worked perfectly on my system I've allowed the update and left it to work... He installed msn messenger, photo gallery, and then all of a sudden popped a window asking for information on Silverlight, what were the initial cause do not install this update on this particular window I clicked on cancel, the window closed and continued installation or fear that we say seemed to continue installation installation of the ActiveX components, live mail , he was somewhere to reach 70-80% done then would start back at zero % saying failed to install click to see...

    On the resolution of this problem I could clearly see there was a problem with the installation of photo gallery and especially on this stage, I was always asked to answer where the original Silverlight Installation came... .a place was there that windows did not find and I could not replace it until I contacted the Technical Support Microsoft with Silverlight updated and get it sorted...

    When trying to install update and failing, he told me that everything was back as it was, and really I still use msn direct, wlmail, and all the other essential components of the life of windows that were installed and working perfectly well before this update, I tried once more just to give it a try it happens exactly the same mistake and restored the source of windows live essentials and everything worked as usual I tried the link for help that took me to the point stat to install the update so I thought to eliminate the update of the photo gallery and left msn and mail selected and tried to update, who worked in the same way, as if I was install the entire update and has not yet rolled here I tried a 4th time the de-selection of all components leaving only Live Mail selected Once again, same procedure which has past, but when to back off and tries to access my wlmail.com I got this dll error! At the beginning he told me d3d9.dll missed try to reinstall the program, it can fix the problem...

    It is then when I decided to find a solution to not install the update of Silverlight and contacted Microsoft Technical support with the problem which they helped me solve it and thought I had found the magic solution for the updates as windows now silverlight has been installed and run again updated He asked not for Silverlight, it went up to 90% then failed and rolled back the reason this time was library was not answer! I run the windows Cleanup utility which I solved problem with Silverlight Update, I found on 4-5 occurrences or every live windows component is 4-5 facilities in msn Messenger, photo library,... wlmail.com so I cleaned all and run the update which finally got installed, but the ERROR REMAINED was now changed to d3d10_1.dll d3d9.dll is missing...

    I'll appreciate any technical advice including a real download for the dll files missing I tried many sites which lead to advertisements to download a program or another that will magically solve my problem!

    Thanks for your support!

    You may have damaged even more by running a registry cleaner for Windows. The best registry cleaners are snake oil, and at worst they will damage MS Office and sometimes Windows itself. Details:

    For the problem, Googling for this file appears your post. When you get no hits for a filename on Google, chances are high that it is a malicious program file. Either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup.

    Because you had a piece of malware, the chances are too high you had others. It would be a good idea to scan. I recommend to download and install MalwareBytes' anti-malware (MBAM) from http://www.malwarebytes.org . The program is free. (There is a paid version, but you don't need to buy it to remove the malware).

    Manage startup:

    (for XP) Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

    This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

  • Windows Explorer crashes failed msvcr90.dll

    Friends

    I have this most annoying problem. It happens on my computer and the computer of a friend. I have Vista Pro 64 bit and my friend a Windows 7 Home Premium, also 64-bit.

    We both use the same two programs for a specific project, we want to do. A program is a data management program called FieldWorks, where export us the data in the format of LibreOffice. I think that this problem started during the installation of LibreOffice and then begins to export stuff in the program of FieldWorks.

    Very often, when we click on an exported file in .odt (LibreOffice) on the desktop, or simply click anywhere in a folder on the desktop, where we store .odt files, then immediately the Windows Explorer crashes with the following error message:

    Explorer Windows has stopped working. Windows can check online... Check online... The details of the problem are:

    Problem signature: problem event name: BEX64 Application name: the Explorer.EXE Application Version: 6.0.6002.18005 timestamp of the Application: 49e02a1e fault Module name: MSVCR90.dll fault Module Version: 9.0.30729.6161 fault Module Timestamp: 4dace4e7 Exception offset: Code of Exception 00000000000552d 4: c0000417 data exception: 0000000000000000 OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.256.6 locale ID: 1033 additional information 1: complementary 46e0 2 information: information additional 4ce498f1e2ebb3719af008d4ef97bedc 3 : 7 d 05 additional information 4: 729ac305dabb24e28fbe99019ecbbab7
    Also my friend and I get the exact same message and the same fault Module name and version. It can happen several times in a row, insofar as we cannot get to any of the .odt files in the folder via the Windows Eplorer window or desktop, but I got a remove the .odt file in a command window.  Otherwise just Explorer to crash. :-(

    I tried many things to fix this, among them:
    1. I re-entered the msvcr90.dll
    2. I learned that it is the program of MS Visual C++ 2008 that installs this msvcr90.dll and use it
    3. I removed all instances of MS Visual CC ++ Vista computer
    4. I removed all instances of the msvcr90.dll and restarted. Then I made sure that no file with this name has appeared again.
    5. even after that I still get this crash explore with this error message about this being the fault module msvcr90.dll!
    6. I used Windows find defective or missing files, sfc scannow. No gain.

    How this possible error, if there is no msvcr90.dll is left on the system? And no Visual C++ 2008?

    I then tried to reinstall MS Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable to see if that helped, but once again no change. :-( The same error came once again. This version of Visual C++ have not yet installed a version of msvcr90.dll but a msvrc100_XXX.dll

    Until I deleted the MS Visual C++ 2008 (and 2005 and 2010) of my system, I noticed that the existing msvcr90.dll was not even the same version that says that this error report is the version of the Module of fault!

    I am quite at a loss here. What can I do to solve this problem, which is annoying and time consuming? I could send one .odt files, someone at Microsoft to look at, or what?

    Thank you
    Calle2012
