Windows 10: There was a Problem Starting C:\Program Files......\PVMTR64V.dll

Hi There


The above message in a small window started coming some time from early January 2019. This is from Lenovo ThinkPad S5 running an i7 CPU and W 10 Home.


The message: There was a Problem Starting C:\Program Files (86X)\ThhinkPad\Utilities\PVMTR64V.dll


Searched in the Lenovo and Windows Forums/Support but couldn't get anywhere to stop it popping up on start. I'd say I tried those that I could understand/manage. If anyone knows a sure and definite way, please kindly share. Thanks.

:)

 

msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll in C:\

they are microsoft visual studio files, leave em alone.

 

msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll in C:\

Hello back TPU!

Yesterday I saw two files(msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll) in my C:\ disk folder. What does this mean? I know this two files should be in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 or somewhere in C:\Windows but not in main disk folder. I deleted this files but files appeared again today. Is this a virus or maybe an application? How can I check this?

.DLL file

Hi Jerry,

Specific programs use DLL files to function properly in a Windows environment. If the DLL file gets misplaced, deleted, or corrupted, the error "____.dll is missing" appears. We'd like to learn more about your concern so that we could provide
the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

• Which build version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
  Start, type winver, and press Enter. For example, 14393.1066.
• Did you make any changes to your computer before this started happening, like installing or uninstalling a program?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you disable your Startup programs to isolate the cause of the error. To do this, follow these steps:

• Right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager.
• Click More details.
• Go to the Startup tab.
• Right-click every listed program and choose Disable.
• Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.
  
• If the error disappears, enable one of the programs and restart your computer to check if the error reappears; this is to pinpoint exactly which program is causing the error. Do this for all Startup programs until you find the cause.
• Once you've found the program that's causing the error, you can then try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

We'll wait for your response and the results of the troubleshooting.
