Am receiving an error message "cannot open program, missing mfc140u.dll file". This was after downloading a paid-for program for video editing from ACD Systems.
Doing a general Google search I'm led to a site where a tool MFC.dll Repair Tool can be found, a scan shows I supposedly have upwards of 294 items needing repair. I did NOT go any further than seeing that number, I did NOT proceed.
What's the best and "easiest" way to correct this situation? Be gentle as I'm NOT a computer Wiz!
TIA

I saw your post on the windows 7 forum. The people there should get it resolved. _________________ GFI Ultra Keyless S-10 with pad (Black of course) TB202 amp, Hilton VP, Steelers Choice sidekick seat, SIT Strings

Thanks Jack---no doubt there's a world of talent and knowledge on the Windows 7 Help forums----I'm not that tech savvy so could easily get lost in their help. |

Those "free repair tools" are often scams where they do the "free" scan, find numerous "errors", and then offer to fix the "errors" for a price. Most times, the "errors" they find are bogus. There's a special place in hell for those people.
I googled your mfc file and got a couple of hits indicating it's part of Microsoft's C++ 2015 library. You could try installing that from Microsoft (not some unknown site) and see if the issue goes away. It's free. |

Dave, thanks for your input----and your advice is exactly what I did and all is working well now.
I'm with you on the scams so typically I avoid so much of what Google will find in similar searches. Digging a bit deeper directly from MicroSoft was the only way to go.
You guys are always helpful and its greatly appreciated!
