Fatal Error: Failed to load library 'pdh.dll.'

When I double click on the Skype icon, a dialogue box pops up. It says "Fatal Error" at the top, and inside, it says, "Failed to load library 'pdh.dll.'" I cannot get Skype to open at all.
I had used Skype with no problems the day before, and I didn't do anything to any files or anything. I don't think.
I have restarted my computer, un-installed and reinstalled Skype, and went into %appdata% and renamed the Skype folder, tried to open Skype, then renamed the folder back again. None of this worked.
I ran a Malware scan and it came back clean. I am currently running a virus scan.
Can anyone help me?

  • Fatal error: fail to load library dxva2.dll

    My PC has Windows XP Professional SP3 and I installed the latest version of Skype.
    Installation was OK but when I tried to open Skype, the error I've described in the topic's subject appears (the same as the image).
    How can I fix this problem?

    Dxva2.dll is a DirectX system file.  If you are receiving that error it is because this operating system file is missing or damaged.  While copying the file from another source can work, it's best to use system file checker (sfc /scannow) in a command prompt box (Start - Run - cmd) to ensure the proper version is restored.  This will allow your OS to repair damaged or missing Windows operating system files (like dxva2.dll).  Be aware in Windows XP you will either need your Windows XP installation media or a local copy of the i386 folder (originating from the install disc) in order to successfully run system file checker.

  • Failed to load library 'dxva2.dll' appeared at Sky...

    Hi, everyone,
    I encoutered the issue about failed to load library 'dxva2.dll' again.
    My os is Windows XP SP3 Professional.
    After I installed Skype 7.5.73.102 and then it started first time automatically.
    The error message appeared such as Failed to load library 'dxva2.dll' again.
    What's wrong with Skype 7.5.73.10X?
    How could I solve the issue which appear again?
    Best regards,
    Steven.

    Your Windows XP is more than likely missing mandatory Windows updates that are needed in the latest version of Skype.  To resolve the problem, you can get those updates here:

    I am running windows 7 32bit. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi I did a little digging and came up with something that got it fixed. Here goes:
    1. Temporarily shut down my anti virus software..
    2. Open the control panel and go to the add/delete programs going to the uninstall section.
    3. Remove all Apple products in the following order:
          ITunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, & Apple Application Support.
         You do not need to remove safari.
    4. Restart the computer.
    5. Go to Apple.com and download latest version of oTunes.
    6. Re-install.
    This worked for me. No more error mags and all is working again.

    I went to the log and this is the explenatoin written in there: (i'm dutch speaking)

    I simultaneously had a problem with Dreamweaver.
    I think all this is caused by an Side By Side configuration issue.
    I've tried to do following steps:
    -redistibrutable 2008 c++ package geinstall
    -system recoverage tool
    -reinstall cs4 master collection
    -uninstall master collection, clean up, install reeware acrobat reader
    -uninstall acrobat reader, ccleaner register issues resolver , also older than 24 uur , reboot,  install acrobat reader freeware
    -revo uninstall tool to remove acrobat
    none of the above actions were successful.
    What could u suggest or give as a solution.
    Atm i'm using an altarnative pdf-reader.
    But as i bought the master collection,
    i'd rather have my adobe acrobat reader pro and dreamweaver working.
    Thanks in advance,
    With friendly regards
    Anton

    Hi Anton
    I am sorry, I do not have an answer just a similar problem.
    I am no expert, but all these manifest files are to ensure that different developers can ensure that the appropriate versions of common libraries are used by particular versions of their software.
    Deatils are below. The original problem was a corrupted manifest file, probably due to a disk error. This resulted in several programs failing to run. In particular I was unable to access backup on my Windows Home Server. From the logs I was able to identify the manifest file in error and located a copy of a file with the same name on another of my computers. Using notepad I then changed the file causing the problem to match the file on the other computer.
    This appeared to resolve all my problems.
    When the Acrobat Reader updated itself, however, the"failed to load core DLL" message appeared. Simply uninstalling all adobe programs and re-installing makes no difference.
    If you have the solution please post.
    If not, I will continue to research this problem.
    Very best wishes
    Graham

  • Flash Builder 4.5 Plugin Error: Failed to load library.swf

    Hi,
    I am getting an error from Flash Builder that is stopping me building my app. I am running the plugin version under Springsource ToolSuite 2.6.1. It worked fine with the Prerelease version of Flash Builder 4.5.
    I have flexunit-uilistener-4.1.0-8-4.1.0.16076.swc in the directory along with the other FlexUnit swc files (which do not throw errors).
    Any suggestions ?

  • I keep getting an error message when I attempt to print: "Cannot load library LXBCPRP.DLL", but only from within Firefox.

    Within Firefox and websites visited within Firefox, whenever I try to print using my Lexmark Z605 printer, the error message "Cannot load library LXBCPRP.DLL, using default '' appears. The printer works fine from other programs and indeed worked fine from within versions of Firefox before 4.0.1, and I have even updated drivers from Lexmark, but the problem persists.

    Thanks for your time, but I maintain my position. There has been no problem with my printer from purchase (5+ years ago) until Firefox 4, in particular no problem with Firefox 3.x. I have no problem with ANY other applications I use now and have run through them all to check.
    Firefox 4.0.1 remains the prime suspect, but I am willing to try any fix that the wonderful members of Firefox community may care to suggest.

    But this point on the resolution"Include  missing "Data Access" components that are NOT selected (< Unavailable >)" I can´t found it.
    And the note that explains about to install the Fix pack 1.7 and 1.8, and copy the dll fxu8.dll from server to client, don´t work.
    Any solution???
    More thanks.

    The resolution of this note is:

    Note: If the above steps couldn't resolve the issue. You may need to do a clean reinstall from the scratch.
    The integration Kit has to be installed on the client side or server??
