General Computer Support / MSVCR80.dll
« on: January 10, 2016, 10:16:46 am »
Yesterday I tried to use an application I recently downloaded (called Simple TV Pro), I got the error message:
'The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.'
So I used Windows Repair TWICE, but that didn't solve the problem. I went looking for solutions online, but nothing I found there seem to address my particular situation.

Please help.  :confused:

I'm attaching the systeminfo output.

Today I was informed my Windows Repair installation needed an update, so I did a fresh install (couldn't find a way of applying the update instead). I am now on Version 3.7.0.
I also performed a repair and noticed that although:
a. the use of Safe Mode with Networking is advised and
b. a Reboot To Safe Mode button is provided in each tab
after the Repairs rebooting directly from the Command Prompt window leads to a restart in Normal Mode, NOT to Safe Mode! So I had to (once more) 'manually' reboot to Safe Mode, in order to perform the second Repairs iteration.
So it looks like a tweak of the Repairs phase/step is needed.
Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks for the quick and detailed reply, Shane!  :smiley:

I will keep you updated as requested. I'm looking forward to seeing any of the suggestions I made being implemented.

Best,

Hi everybody at Tweaking.com!    :smiley:

I've been using your great application for around a year. Yesterday I finally managed to compile a list of observations and suggestions based on Ver. 2.4.0.1.  Here they are:

______________________________________________________________________

Step 2 (Check Disk Output)
- verbose in Taskbar 'text bubble': show current/lowest Chkdsk text line)

Step 3 (System File Check)
- memorize result 'through PC restart', show result + timestamp in Step 3 tab next time WR is started (dark blue text, similar to Step 2 tab: 'No errors found...')
- cmd.exe output window doesn't use ANY of the 4 settings chosen by WR 'CMD.exe Options'

Step 4
SYSTEM RESTORE
-trying to move the WR main window by mouse triggers an error window with the following (rather cryptic) text content:
'This action cannot be completed because the other application is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy application and correct the problem.'
Its 3 buttons are as follows: 'Switch To...' has focus, 'Retry' is also available, 'Cancel' is deactivated. Pressing one of the 2 active buttons closes the said error window.
- any attempt to move the WR main window around will also result in the 'animated' info message freezing until the 'Restore point created...' replaces it.
REGISTRY BACKUP
- there is no 'blue info text' in the WR main window, informing about the procedure in progress, neither about procedure termination and its timestamp.
In other words: the registry backup 'sub-window' basically vanishes before the user is able to take notice, the Registry Backup area in the Step 4 tab misses some kind of completion text.

Repair [Step 5]
- It is not yet clear to me whether the firewall can interfere with this step, so I preferred to deactivate the firewall until the following boot (just to be on the safe side). IMHO more clarity for the user [regarding this subject] would be a great help. Please consider adding information to the red warning text from the Repair 'sub-window'.
- one of the repair steps - can't find its name now, but it mentions 'remote access' - [also] shows its progress in a CMD window that uses the default settings (white on black etc.) instead of the 'CMD.exe Options' settings.

and last, but not least...:

General
Various WR window dimensions and positions do not 'stick' after changing them 'manually'. (a problem I'm also experiencing on this OS with other 3rd party applications)

Thanks a million for your great help in keeping my OS 'sleek and healthy'.
