PlayerView error when starting

EdC1957 · #1 12-07-2004, 07:14 AM

Can anyone help me with this? When I tried starting PlayerView for the 1st time, I received the following error message:

"The MSIMG32.DLL file is linked to missing export GDI32.DLL:GdiGradientFill"

The when I click "OK", it says:

"A device attached to the system is not functioning."

Any help is greatly appreciated.

That dll download I gave to you did not work? You put it in your c:\windows\system32 directory?

What version of windows are you running?

Which DLL download did you give me? Please be more specific. I am running Windows ME.

I'm sorry that was someone else, let me find the link for you.

DLL

Try downloading that and extracting the contents into your system32 directory under your windows directory (probably c:\windows\system32). Reboot, then give it another shot.

Thanks for the link, but I had already done that before I posted (added gdi32.dll to system32 directory) and it didn't help. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hrm I'll look around. People have had this problem with WinME in the past, I don't really know what to say other than WinME sucks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'll try to find an answer tonight.

Ok I have another idea try this. Go to this url and about halfway down the page there is a "Download msimg32.dll" link, click that a new window should pop up and then click Download again in the new window. Unzip this file into your c:\Windows\System32 directory.

Then go into your start menu and go to run, type in the following command and hit ok:
regsvr32 C:\windows\system32\msimg32.dll

Let me know how that works.

Thanks. I appreciate your help. BTW, my original gdi32.dll file is NOT missing. It's in Windows\System. And it's a newer version, too. Could it be corrupt? I tried replacing it with the older version that you linked me to, but it won't let me replace it because it's always in use.
