**Did you recently install or uninstall some software?**Many applications use the same dll libraries. An uninstall can remove orunregister dll files used by other applications. Try reinstalling the uninstalled application and see if that resolves the issue. The same thing for installs. If you install an application and it replaces a DLL with either a newer or older version. That new dll may not have all the functions the other application needs to run.
