Upon start up of my PC, an error message occurs that states, 'The application was was unable to start correctly(0xc000007b)" Reader isn't functioning properly and any programs that require it cannot be used(i.e. itunes, etc)  My computer operating system is windows 7, 64 bit. The reader came with the computer. I am an unskilled pc user but can follow written instructions to troubleshoot. thanks in advance for any help you may give!

I hope its okay that I am resending my earlier question. I have attempted  all of the suggestions to fix the problem with Adobe Reader but so far nothing has worked. Is there anything else I can try? Thank you for your help!

My Reader version was an older one , so I downloaded the latest on the website. I shut down and restarted the computer but the error notice is still present.
Also, when I attempted to open Reader in protected mode, the following error message appeared ," Fatal Error Acrobat failed to load it's core DLL.
I downloaded the anti malware program at adobe help and ran the scan, restarted the computer and the error message still pops up. Are there any other actions you might suggest?

  • Captivate 6 Errors: Missing file libwinpthread-1.dll  and The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) on Windows 2008 R2

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Captivate 6 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have 2 different scenarios where I tested but the result is same.
    1- I used AMEE (Application Manager Enterprise 3.1) to create the installation Package to deploy through SCCM 2012.
    Notice that the current package works fine on Windows7 (x86 & x64) but not on 2008 R2 due to an error after I try to launch Captivate.exe application.
    The error states that there's a Missing file: libwinpthread-1.dll and if I copy and made a registration of this .DLL file then it sends another error saying: The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) so it never let me launch the application.
    2- Now if I install the package directly from the Original sources(CD) without creating any AMEE package after completing the installation I still have the same error about the DLL missing file.
    Is there any fix or workaround to install Captivate 6 on Win2008 R2 ?
    Thanks in advance & kind regards.

    Wow, No replies so far !! 
    Any one ??

    Nobody can know. That's just a generic Windows crash code and since you haven't provided any system info, no crash logs nor even told us what app you actually refer to this is totalyl useless.

    Hi,
    There is not enough information about the problem. For troubleshooting, I recommend you can use Process Monitor to detect whether there's any process failed.
    You can download Process Monitor and see how to use it for troubleshooting in below links:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939896
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/06/01/troubleshooting-with-process-monitor.aspx
    There are a lot of log entries in Process Monitor, you may filter Visual Studio process only(proces = devenv.exe). And you can upload the logs to OneDrive so that we can investigate them.
    Also, you can refer to Gfazil's post in 
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/96035692-9a50-40d4-a7d3-48bda87d11ec/the-application-was-unable-to-start-correctly-0xc000007b-click-ok-to-close-the-application-when?forum=vssetup
    Please try the method he mentioned to see whether the problem can occur:
    " Replacing the dlls mentioned below from a machine that is working solves the problem:
    c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100.dll
    c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100d.dll

  • Every time I update LR to a new version I seem to need a patch to make it work..... once again here I am SOS! I've just update LR to the 5.7 version and It wont let me start it: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

    Every time I update LR to a new version I seem to need a patch to make it work..... once again here I am SOS! I've just update LR to the 5.7 version and It wont let me start it: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

    Your system is missing a couple DLLs that LR needs, but the fix at Adobe is to copy them to the LR folder which gets replaced for each install, so you have to redo it after each LR install.  It would be worth documenting the process and saving the DLLs so you don’t have to ask about it each time:

    You might also use the AIO210 program to add them as detailed in this YouTube video—maybe this is a more permanent fix, but since the files are from media-fire be very careful about what you do so as not to install a virus on your computer. 
    I’d scan the downloaded ZIP you download with whatever virus and internet security software you have and don’t be fooled by extraneous popups you might see during the download process.  I was able to download the aio210.zip after authorizing one Captcha window and closed at least one bogus popup trying to get me to install other software.  I also scanned the downloaded zip with two virus scanners and both said it was clean.  Here is the YouTube video, where the link to the ZIP to download is in the description once you expand it:

  • 0xc000007  The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Get this when run RoboHelp 10

    I get a RoboHTML.exe - Application Error when I try to start RoboHelp 10 HTML.  It says:
    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).  Click OK to close the application.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed RoboHelp 10 several times but it made no difference.
    What can I do?
    Thanks,

    Yes it did work fine.  The problem was that I could not view the Single Source JavaHelp output on my PC after I generated it. I know you have to download Java JDK, etc. and I've done that many times over the years and each time it was a huge hassle, but finally got it to work. 
    But RoboHelp worked fine and the output worked fine in my customer's Java program.  Since I could not view the output, a programmer at my client's site looked up the error message online and gave me some links to look at.  I did what one of those links said by downloading something.  I don't remember what at this point.  It was then that I would get the message anytime I tried to run RoboHelp.  So I cannot run RoboHelp now.
    If I can just get rid of this error message and be able to run RoboHelp, I am OK with not even being able to run the JavaHelp viewer.  I've dealt with that many times over the years on various computers and it is always a huge hassle.  I'll just look at it after my customer loads it into their application.
    Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

  • The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) in Audition CC. Latest fix? Win7 Prof

    Another username, password later, ..., control handed over to Creative Cloud, install Audition.... then
    "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" in Audition CC. So re-installed. I on't want to spend hours trying to get Adobe software to run.  This was my trial application download to see how it worked. ANd it didn't. And there are heaps of posts with complicated advice... ending with - go get a chat support person. And they are not available. aaaaggggghhhhh
    I am now worried that installing any other app from CCloud may cause problems on my PC with other Adobe SW.
    What is the latest (and hopefully simple) way of getting this program to run?
    I don't have ilivid,
    I do have:  CS5, Win 7 Prof, installed via some Adobe CCloud app that I was told to install and use to manage your CC account,
    Grateful for anyone who can wave the magic wand.

    Above linked gave this soln:
    1. please try to download a dll file from  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4eWI-NGpmnuTUxPQVIxYThSNlE/edit?usp=sharing
    2. The package contains the files msvcr100.dll and msvcr80.dll. Extract the package contents to the following location:
    I copied the 2 DLL files to the C:\program files\Adobe\audition cc 2014 folder and it worked. SIMPLE !!!!!! YEH.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

    Hi
    I have just done a clean install of Windows 8 64BIT on a new SSD, I then installed Dreamweaver CS6 (trial) but when I try to launch it I keep getting the same error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)".
    I have ran chkdsk and no errors were found.
    Any suggestions.

    The Event Viewer is your friend. That's just a generic crash signature and by itself means not much.

  • Message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close." I've tried un/reinstall. IE also fails, Chrome ok.

    One or two users have reported this problem before but no-one has found a clear solution. Two days ago all was fine. Now Firefox won't open, error message as above. Oddly it shows as running in the task manager! At the same time I found Internet Explorer is also failing to open. But Chrome is working normally!
    I have tried restore points, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Deleting all files in folder. Of course I cannot get to profile as cannot open firefox! I did not recently add any new extensions/add-ons.
    I am using Chrome now but really would like not to abandon Firefox after all these years.

    Hi iantwebb, sorry to repeat myself, but:
    There seem to be a very diverse range of problems that can cause that error, as shown in this Google search:
    https://www.google.com/search?q=application+unable+start+correctly+%280xc0000022%29
    Since IE won't start either, I suggest posting on Microsoft's support forum since they obviously are much more familiar with the clogs in the plumbing that cause this than we are here.

  • The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

    I have a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and recently installed all apps. They all worked fine until I recently installed iLivid - big mistake! (at least I think this is the culprit from other articles I found). Now I can no longer use Illustrator and I am being asked for a serial number in all most other apps. The error message shown, when I try too launch Illustrator, is as above. I've tried uninstalling and deleting everything, including wiping all traces I can find in the registry, and then reinstalling the application manager and the apps again, but no joy. Who can help me please

    Hi Magiboards_Erwin,
    A possible explanation is the iLivid software has overwritten some of the Visual C++ libraries on your OS. This is an issue which can affect many applications on your system, any which use these libraries. One solution is to put the DLL's from the library in application folder so it doesn't need to access them from the OS. I know we have that kind of solution for Lightroom but haven't seen it for Illustrator.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/error-unable-start-correctly-0xc00007b.html
    or completely remove the iLivid using some kind of Malware or Anti-virus removal software, and then uninstall and reinstall the Microsoft 2005 Visual C++ libraries,
