Opengl32.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. I reinstalled the graphics drivers. During the execution of the games, it shows this error. What should I do to fix this? Is it a graphic file or a file from microsoft?

Hi Jason,

1. What is the number of brand and model of your system and graphics card?

2 did you a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

This error can be caused by an application, including any old games you have installed on your system.

Because you tried to reinstall the drivers for video card, you can try to perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    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.

    Look for steps to restore of the system in the link below:

    This could be caused due to damaged DLL files.

    I had to start Windows Recovery Environment, load the command prompt and replace the file c:\windows\sysWOW64\wship6.dll to a system of work w7 (I used an iso oem and 7zip)

    ( 1 copy the file in a place should be on my boot drive (c :) in my case))

    2 . restart your computer , press and hold F8 as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to start over; to do this, hold the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    3 . Select repair your computer and press enter.

    4 . Select the option for command line

    type 5 bcdedit | find "osdevice" (note that there is a space after bcdedit and | and also find) that will tell you what drive letter to use to access your startup drive (d: in my case)

    type 6 the drive letter followed by a: (d: in my case) and press enter , the guest must pass to < DriveLetter >: (in my case d:)

    type 7 copy < your place should be > wship6.dll windows\syswow64\wship.dll (replace < your place should be > with the full path to where you place the file) (note the space between the .dll and windows)

    If this does not work, you may need to replace syswow64 system32 in all the above instructions

    Hi Raygun55,

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    This problem may occur if the Microsoft DirectX file that is mentioned in the error message is damaged or is not copied correctly.

    I suggest that you copy the file manually by following the steps and check if you are able to play the game without any problems:

    Manually copy the file

    To do this on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:

    1 insert the disc 1 CD for one of the following games into the player from the computer:

    o Age of Empires III

    o Fable: The Lost Chapters

    o Zoo Tycoon 2

    o Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

    2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.

    3. Locate, and then click computer.

    4. search and then click on the CD drive.

    5. Locate and then click the following folder:

    CD player :\ DirectX9

    Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.

    6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.

    In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.

    Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.

    7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft: Age of Empires III

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of legends

    Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.

    8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.

    Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.

    Did you do any change on the computer before this problem?

    Try the following and see if it helps.


    Method 1:
    I suggest to start in safe mode with network and then try to run a full system scan and check if it helps.
    Step 2:
    Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected can be cleaned by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

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

  • C:\Windows\System32\D3D10Level9.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error when it tried to update to windows live messenger

    Original title: installing windows live messenger update revealed a .dll file bad, maybe direct3d related.

    I am running windows Vista professional, service pack 2. I just updated windows live essentials, specifically the Messenger and have since lost feature program.

    The launch of the program, I get an error message saying:

    "
    Msnmsgr.exe - bad Image

    C:\Windows\System32\D3D10Level9.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.
    "

    subsequently I do not have much in graphical material in the e-mail program, insofar as a chat window is empty (but I can still type messages and send them, without being able to see, or no response). I don't see this problem in any other program, but perhaps no other programs try to use graphics in this way. In principle, I could downgrade windows live Messenger back to what it was, but that seems more to avoid the problem rather than solve them.

    I had a quick glance in the D3D10Level9.dll file, in the system32 folder: it has no size and is apparently empty. Conclude that this file is just broken and needs to be replaced?

    An internet search indicates that this file is described as "Direct3D 10 to Direct3D9 translation Runtime". I was wondering if it was a directx problem, so tried to reinstall that. It did not work.

    It seems to me that I need a replacement for this particular dll file that actually works, but I'm incredibly careful to find a replacement and the "tips" on how to mess with some arbitrary site system files.

    Could someone offer any advice on how I should proceed with this? What danger is there to find me a replacement dll file, change the privileges of the corrupted file, so I can replace it and make the switch? It would be the right thing to do? My analysis of the situation is correct? Could it be solved with a relocation of a program?

    Thank you very much

    Uninstalling and reinstalling the update of windows for a year that has put the file d3d10level9.dll on the computer, the problem has been resolved.
