    Hi RogerGerbers,

    I'm Nathan, a fellow Microsoft customer and expert user here to help.

    This .DLL file is in relation to Microsoft Visual C++ 2005. You could try following the below steps to re-register it:

    • Open Command Prompt as administrator (search for it within the Windows start menu > right-click > run as administrator)
    • Enter: regsvr32 /u mfc80u.dll

    Hit ENTER. This will UN-REGISTER your file.

    • Enterregsvr32 /i mfc80u.dll

    Hit ENTER. This will RE-REGISTER your file.

    • Reboot your PC

    You could also run the following Microsoft Update for this (which should resolve this error message for you): https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx...(ir_763f7d17Nab333889aea3ee8d34f0413f)(7593)(1243925)(tv2R4u9rImY-IKyAQGiTTdd0SGTFUd_v1Q)()&irclickid=763f7d17Nab333889aea3ee8d34f0413f

    Please let me know how this goes so I can further assist.

    Hope this helps,

    Nathan
