Members blueyedmule Posted March 21, 2009 Members Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm sorry about taping your buns together. . .[/breakfastclub] I've got an error message that "this application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I'm not running any particular application I know of when this pops up. I was getting it when I loaded astromomy.com's home page. Any help much appreciated. I'm running Vista and I keep getting other programs I try to download that won't load because this PC is 64-bit. If that helps. Again, sorry for the tape.

Well, for missing DLL's, just Google it, read what it's for (in this case it's a Visual C Runtime library file) and download it if it's nothing malicious. And is "astromomy" a typo of "astronomy" or "astromommy"? EDIT: From further reading it looks like this error can also be from an infection. Have you done a virus scan since this started popping up?

Yup. I've got AVG free, Comodo firewall plus the built-in firewall. I have downloaded lots of stuff though, loading software. No tellin. . . I've got stuff running right now trying to get a fix. I just bought Registry Cleaner. It said I had like 1800 different problems that it fixed. I'm on my third run through that program making sure nothing got missed. I've also run a scan with AVG.

Members blueyedmule Posted March 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2009 Well, the registry cleaner didn't fix it, though it was supposed to fix .dll conflicts. Maybe she do got a bug. Dunno. CRAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueyedmule Posted March 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2009 I switched browsers. Firefox is unaffected. I was able to access the astromommy page no problem. Google Chrome is the only browser that seems to have these failures . Perhaps I should just uninstall Chrome?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueyedmule Posted March 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2009 Chrome is gone. Perhaps that's where the problems/conflicts were coming in. Firefox, though a bit slower, seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueyedmule Posted March 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2009 AVG finished it's scan, nothing meaner than a few cookies that got sent to the Virus Vault. Do I need the malware software on top of the AVG Free and double firewalls?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluescout Posted March 21, 2009 Members Share Posted March 21, 2009 search your windows folder for that msvcr71.dll. There might be a backup copy you can copy back to the windowssysWOW64 folder. Use the latest dated version you can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a backup copy you can copy back to the windowssysWOW64 folder. Use the latest dated version you can find. The weird thing is, once I switched browsers there was no issue. I went to the same sites that were having issues and--nothing. No fail of any flavor. So the same .dll file is now working fine to post whatever applicable data. So my conclusion is that Google Chrome either had a bug or wasn't getting along with Vista somehow. SysWOW64? Seems like the other fix pages I was looking at had me using a different folder. It was under Systems, like Sys32 I think. Does 32 and 64 refer back to 32-bit or 64-bit, I wonders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
