Solved: Why won't my laptop run Firefox?

<< < (5/9) > >>

4wd:
Is there any differences in the reports without you running the two versions - ie. just open them with DW and see what's reported as being missing between the two versions.

MilesAhead:
Do you have the install disc for this machine?  I'm starting to think it may be a case of running
sfc /SCANNOW to replace missing system files.  Probably some Dlls.

According to the boards I'm on they say to run it 3 times.

Here's a tutorial for W7

But No, I don't have a CD for this one either.
-so this was merely a cmd.exe on the desktop, not during boot.

Dependency Walker [DW] ... giving these error messages: (see attachment in previous post)-Curt (March 03, 2015, 03:53 AM)

On stackoverflow a user listed the exact same DLLs (as shown in above screenshot), as being named by Dependency Walker as missing. He then installed three OCX files, and voila his problem was gone - even though DW still listed the many DLLs as "missing"! Maybe a coincidence. He never came back to name the OCX files.

dependency walker is telling me that the following DLLs are missing:

    API-MS-WIN-CORE-COM-L1-1-0.DLL
    API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ERROR-L1-1-0.DLL
    API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL
    API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ROBUFFER-L1-1-0.DLL
    API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL
    API-MS-WIN-SHCORE-SCALING-L1-1-0.DLL
    DCOMP.DLL
    GPSVC.DLL
    IESHIMS.DL

MS just pulled the W7 ISO images from Digital River too.  Otherwise you could just download one.  Although if you have the product key I believe you can still download directly from MS.  But I don't know the server.
