GrofLuigi Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 It's Microsoft Video For Windows 32-bit Dynamic Link Library, pretty essential stuff, it's alarming that it's missing. First thing is to do as MrJinje wrote.(32 is historical name, it might be 64-bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJinje Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 why is it not ok to dl the dll file -- http://www.techsuppo...ing-253733.html -- seems to have fixed it for others1) Because you asked your question at a forum that does not condone the hosting of Windows DLL files without the express written permission from the National Football League. 2) Because you can find them on your install disk, inside the install.wim file (system32 and or syswow64 folder), very easy to mount with DISM if you had kept your install disk (which we were not made aware of until your latest post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 You should have the backup in the WinSxS folder. In a cmd, run this to find them.dir msvfw32.dll /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 don't download the file from the Internet.You can extract the correct file from your Windows DVD:http://blog.nirsoft.net/2009/09/17/how-to-extract-missing-system-files-from-the-dvd-of-windows-7vista/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
office13broken Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) great link! extracted it, so where do you put it? replace it in the system folder?"dir msvfw32.dll /s" -- found it but there's only 1 and isn't that the 'corrupted' version repairing everything would likely fix it and the sp1 problem -- but i don't keep any discs at all so i can't burn the iso Edited September 12, 2013 by office13broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
