    Signature error in Module msvcr80.dll

    athegn Community Member

      Using PSE 7 under Windows Xp Service Pack 3.

       

      I was using the Editor and then decided to try the Demo of Elemenst+. On reopening the Editor I got a Signature error in Module msvcr80.dll version 8.0.50727.4053.

       

      As I also have PSE 5 on my system, which is still working correctly, I looked for its msvcr80.dll; found it with a version of 8.0.50727.42.

       

      Replaced the 8.0.50727.762 in:

       

      C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Microsoft.VC80.CRT

       

      with Version 8.0.50727.42

       

      On Opening the Editor the same Signature error.

       

      Note still reporting 8.0.50727.4053 Not 8.0.50727.42 So reports 8.0.50727.4053 whether .42 or 762 installed - providing Editor is reading C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Microsoft.VC80.CRT for its msvcr80.dll. (I have searched for msvcr80.dll and only found the above path for PSE 7.0 but there is another, 4053, in C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1f......7989 and also 762 and 3053 in C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_....... )

       

      I did see a suggestion of using the msvcr80.dll from the Installation Disk but this is just a giant cab file; msvcr80.dll not listed seperately.

       

      I have used System restore to go back before adding Elements+ but no luck!

       

      Before I reinstall or even reformat can anyone please help?

          I have now managed to extract msvcr80.dll from my PSE 7 installation disk via WinZIP.

           

          It has Version 8.0.50727.762 I have placed it in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Microsoft.VC80.CRT to no avail. Note the manifest file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Microsoft.VC80.CRT is looking for version 8.0.50727.762

           

          I note that the error report I could send to Microsoft still has mention of Elements+ even though I have restored my setup to before it was installed?

            Perhaps I should have thought of this earlier.



            Trashed Preferences and now seems to be working.
