Msn

[Gemfire]

C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe

A device attached to the system is not functioning.


The MSNMSGR.EXE file is linked to missing export OLEAUT32.DLL.176.

Ok i got those above errors whenever i try to open msn messenger on my computer(it worked fine, and then poof didnt 5 minutes later )

I re-downloaded the installer, and re-installed it....Nothing....Re-downloaded the dll file(seven times :X) and that didnt help....any clue? :/



note: AIM wont work anymore either....just wont load...and no errors for that....and Netscape 7.1 wont work either...Is it a common error? or is my computer just f*cked?

Uninstall it and reinstall it.

[Mr. Peanuts]

Yeah, you may have deleted some of its startup files.

I re-downloaded the installer for that too(also tried re-installing 3 different times :S) So that shouldnt be the problem..

It seems to me like your computer is having many problems.
What I Recomend:
- If you do not have any valuable data on your computer, just reformant the Hard Drive, an reload everything that you need/want.
+WARNING: Before you do this
- make sure that you have a copy of your operating system and the CD Key.
- make sure you have all your programs on discs, and all of your drivers aswell.
- make sure you have all of the documents you needs on floppy discs or CD's.


* Once you Reformat your Hard Drive, reload the operating system, reinstall all of your drivers for your hardware, and reload everything that you want.
- Doing this will make you computer perform like it is new.
- If you have an questions, feel free to PM me.

I figured out what was wrong...i was just being a dumb ass....instead of creating a shortcut to msn messenger..i copied it by mistake...and the dll file wasnt on the desktop...figured that out about 10 mins after i posted :x
