Dynamic library errors, alas, not uncommon even on the latest versions of Windows. One of the most frequent problems with Microsoft Visual C ++ package components like the MFC120U.dll library. The most frequently similar failure appears when you start the Corel Draw X8 graphics editor on the latest versions of Windows, starting with the "seven".
Method 1: Manual installation of the MFC120U.DLL file
Initially, we offer the fastest solution to the problem. It lies in loading the missing DLL to the hard disk and the further movement of the downloaded file into the C: \ Windows \ System32 directory. Note: If you use the X64 version of the OS from Microsoft, the address will already be C: \ Windows \ SYSWOW64, as well as additionally you may need to copy and in "System32".
Most likely, you will also need to carry out additional manipulation - registration of DLL. This action is necessary to recognize the component, otherwise the OS will not be able to take it into operation. With detailed instructions can be found in this article.
Method 2: Installing Microsoft Visual C ++ Package
Dynamic libraries included in this distribution, as a rule, are set together with the system or applications, for which the operation is necessary. In some cases, this does not happen, and the package needs to download and install yourself.
64-bit Windows owners need to install both versions of packages: both x64 and x86!
- Run the installer. Read and accept the license agreement for installation.
To start the installation process, you need to click "Install".
- Wait about 2-3 minutes until the necessary files are downloaded and the distribution kit is set to the computer.
- When the installation process is completed, close the window by pressing the appropriate button and restart the PC.
If no failures occurred during the installation, you can be sure - you got rid of the malfunction in MFC120U.dll.
Method 3: Installing Compatibility Mode
It happens that even after installing the Visual C ++ package or file, the problem does not disappear separately. In this situation, try adding a shortcut mode compatibility, if some application that requires this dll, old, and the Windows version is new.
- Press the PCM to the problem shortcut and go to its "properties".
- Click the Compatibility tab and check the box around the item "Run a program in compatibility mode with:". Now alternately choose the available operating systems or immediately the one for which a particular application was originally written. Save the changes and try running the software again.
The presented recommendations should be sufficient to eliminate the troubled file.
