I'm pretty sure it says that you have cancer.

that's... not very nice.

uhhh... Yeah not even I know how to respond to this!

I'm at a loss for words at just how much of a fail troll you really are.

Wasn't trying to troll but ok.

I laughed.

Google is your friend.

been there done that.... BUT STILL FRIGGIN ERRORS BQAFQKJKQLA

What exactly is Flash.exe? Tried reinstalling this?

Flash.exe is the execution file/code that makes it run, like Firefox.exe or Flash.exe etc. Good call though, I agree, maybe try reinstalling that whole set of files and see what happens.

Sorry, I meant "Makes it start running", like the command saying "Do this now".

welp.. it's Adobe Flash...

You can actually download .dll's off the internet, so you can just search, "gdiplus.dll" on the internet and it should give you that file. Just replace it at the appropriate location. I've done it successfully multiple times.

somehow.. I can't replace those files =c

Oh. Uhm. Try something like Killbox to replace on reboot? Could fuck up your system if the wrong file is used, but I dunno if it could get any worse. :V

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/d......shtml?gdiplus download that, then plonk it in the location C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.18120_none_72d2e82389981b36 literally copy that text and paste it in that top bar in My Documents. It shouldn't give you an error, seeing as the file is broken. If it does... Then I'm unsure what to shut down, as it's a dll used for programming, but not necessarily on Windows - it isn't actually important, is what I'm saying.

HOWEVER, I can see how Flash would need it.

yea.. well.. it says I need permission to replace the file..


herp.


i gave up... but thanks though...

Hmm, strange.
You're welcome, I guess :P Sorry it didn't work.

Are you Admin on your machine while trying that, or just a normal user?

Right click on the folder and go to properties, then the security tab. You will need to take ownership of the file/folder by going into advanced settings from the security tab, then the ownership tab, then changing the owner to your own account. Then change the security settings for your account to full control, or at least write access. Then you should be able to replace it.

without administrator access that option is hidden from view. Its why i operate a special registry entry that allows me to have a button. that takes ownership by right clicking and hitting take ownership in my context.

This post jist gave me a miniature tech boner.

There is only 1 way to win a battle with windows. Be a dominative asshole too it and hold all its options in the palm of your hand as buttons. Its floppy has nothing on my hard drive.

you cannot replace that file because it is NOT an actuall file, it is just a link somewhere on your harddrive that is handeled like a file, because it is not an actual file you cannot replace it.
Use in a commant prompt this command to get the actual location of the file:

fsutil.exe hardlink list "C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplis_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.18120_none_72d2e82386681b36\gdiplus.dll"

That will return a list of file locations

make a backup of that file and try to replace this files with a new version.

Warning! This may also could break your system horribly and may require a reinstall of the software or even windows!

Try it if you want, also, i may sent you the wrong command, that makes the opposite, instead of giving you the location of the file.

If reinstalling Flash doesn't help, I'd try this. Just be sure to get one for the appropriate Windows version and that it's not off some shady site full of viruses (scan the file if you've got a virus scanner).

Downloading DLLs is usually not the best idea. It's better to find out what library the DLL comes with and reinstall the library itself.

Works for me, heh.

It works but it's most likely not fixing the real problem. I've seen a lot of people drop in a DLL file and just get another message about a different DLL because they're missing an entire library.

Also: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findt.....l-download.htm

I mean - if it works for you - go for it. Just figured I'd drop a message in here. :3

I don't know if you tried this, but sometimes if the program's drivers are out of date or missing then this message will pop up. Used to get it on my machine when I was missing the drivers for my word program that I got from school. All I had to do was go to the Microsoft Website and the websites for the other programs and re-download the drivers. But since it's happening to multiple programs on your machine, then I don't know how helpful this advice is.

Your not going to like it but i think the only way to fix this is a format and re-install

that is always ALWAYS considered a last resort. Its clear that the dll is obsolete or its corrupted. He just needs to download the right one.

I did some digging and this is all i could find. You may be suffering from a rare issue where a .dll has been unregistered. You'll need to confirm if the file is in fact still there and then follow these instructions.

Have you tried re-installing the software program?
If not, check and see if gdiplus.dll is located in C:\Windows\System32. (You may have to turn on hidden files)


1) Click Start
2) In the start search box, Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD
and Click 'Run as Administrator'
3) At the Command Prompt, type:regsvr32 gdiplus.dll
4) restart your computer

This will register the file and you can check and see if you can now start your software program.



Hope this helps.

ZHopefully that may help. If it doesn't then something is clearly wrong and you may need to run the system utility for verifying dll's.

What version of Windows do you have?

go and play outside

http://de.dll-files.com/gdiplus.dll.html

try to download the zip file, delete the ol dll file and insert new one. You can see the path to the dll file at the picture of the error message. Hope this works :)

If it'ss adobe flash, don't you think it'd be easier going to adobe for support than a bunch of furries? :P

This isn't a flash problem

I'm pretty sure this is a general windows API driver, and if that's not working then things might be horribly broken... Maybe try updating your video card drivers and see if that causes it to use a newer version of the gdiplus.dll file or something

GDI+ contains Microsoft C++/.NET framework, so you may want to try reinstalling and updating those if you haven't already. And then shut off automatic updates.

looks like it is a virus possibly but if there is a staples close to u they are decent and have a good anti-virus program Sophos

Or you could go with AVG. I doubt this is a virus. Why is it every time something goes wrong on someone's computer, there's always that guy who calls it a virus?

well for one I had a similar pop-up and similar issues which was caused by a virus that deleted parts of the programs so I had to re-install everything after the anti-virus cleared the virus off

Adobe flash, eh? Well, I would recommend that you get the installer for it, and run "repair" option, instead of outright reinstalling it.

Noooo! >< Ariff! It seems flash hates you! and Google! because it fails! >< I hope this fixes soon! I luuurve yer art <3

just for great shiggles, try running a command prompt as an administrator and typing "chkdsk /b", say yes to do it on restart, and restart. This will take a while, so maybe while you sleep or go out for lunch. if that comes up clean, try "sfc /scannow", again from a command prompt run as an administrator. If SFC finds something, it may ask for the OS disk, so have it handy.

A couple of the easier tricks I know of. If neither of those work, you might wanna try running tweaking.com's all-in-one too.

Just paste a a copy of the .DLL file into the system32 folder. Should work.
