Error "LoadLibrary failed with error 126: The module could not be found" when launching programs

Original title: <Why do I get  LoadLibrary failed with error 126?>

In starting some programs, the program partially starts, then a pop-up message shows up saying "LoadLibrary failed with error 126: The module could not be found". When you click the "OK" button, the whole program shuts down. I've had this issue with several graphics applications like PSP and Rhinoceros 3D.

Any suggestions what may be causing this "error 126"?
