Windows 7 computer said that the DWM.exe could start not due the windowscodecs.dll file is missing.
Original title: Windowscodecs.dll missing
IM using a windows machine 7 and one day, he said that the DWM.exe could start not due the windowscodecs.dll file is missing.
I don't have to go back, any system restore points
I ran the/scannow sf in command prompt and it says that the file is corrupted.
I tried to put the machine in safe mode,
I tried troubleshooting and software update
and I tried to download external software to replace the file.
It also affects the Aero theme, so my background is just a black screen!
What else can I try that actually work?
Why we just know it is a virtual machine? Well...
Have you looked on your system here to check that the file is actually missing (of course that mine has been replaced):
I downloaded a file called on my OneDrive:
64bitcodecs.dll (64-bit version)
The link to my a drive is:
https://onedrive.live.com/?ID=EC673DF6F8DFEE84%212368&CID=EC673DF6F8DFEE84
You must visit my OneDrive, upload this file to a place, you can find, rename it to WindowsCodecs.dll and then copy and paste in your c:\windows\system32 folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive).
When you have done so, check again with Explorer that the file is really there (if it was missing before) and if everything looks good, reboot your system and see what things look like.

You need to change the boot sequence:
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

Hello - anyone can help me find a solution to my problem?
My problem: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or damaged. Status: Oxc000014C
I tried everything the sytem advised through SafeMode etc... Also, I tried to reload my OS - last updated through the windows update site. However, he did not - probably because all updates from MS, which means that it would not load from the DVD.
It's a whole new system customized with MS Vista 64 bit, Office 2007 Untimate, Asus MB, 250 GB HD ATI video card. I used Vista for almost a year and had no problems until today. All of the original software.
I have my thesis and several files, I was working on someone - I was doing consulting work to supplement my income as a student... Unfortunately, when I finally used my system last night it was ok. Now I canoe get my system up and running.
Mark Merci for your comments.
I found myself communicating directly with Microsoft and they were able to get my system up and running without losing me data. Hooray for Microsoft!
My system is back to normal and I am assuring you that all my files are backed up on DVD.

Unistall button control panel says that the Setup log file is missing.
I have been using a registered version of Lightroom 5.4. I tried to uninstall it but the button control panel uninstall produced the answer that the Setup log file is missing and it wouldn't uninstall. I tried to delete all the files in and then put it back, hoping that he might happen to remove or repair. I have now two versions of 5.4 64-bit showing in Panel, neither of which I can uninstall. Help please.
The uninstaller entry in Control Panel is created by an entry in the register. Remove the registry key will remove the list. This is normally done by the uninstallation process, but because quite simply, you have deleted the files, he left the info record behind. As shown here should clean your registry: solve the problems that the programs may not be installed or uninstalled
