I can't open DejaVuX2. When I click on the program to open it I get the following error message.

error message title: DejaVuX2.exe Bad Image

error message body:
C:\Windows\system32\MSVBVM60.DLL is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

I tried uninstalling DejaVuX2 and reinstalling it from the disk (I own it for over 6 years already). That didn't help and I still got the same error message. Then I tried downloading the trial of DejaVuX3 and I tried to open DejaVuX3 but I got the same error message.

I contacted Atril for support but that still have got no response from them. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I have been using DejaVuX2 for 6 years and haven't had any major problems until now. By the way, I am using the latest build of the software and I have Windows 7.

I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance! ▲ Collapse

I assume the error isn´t directly related to DV but to the mentioned .DLL file. The internet (alias Google) offers several solutions to fix issues with that file. Try some of them or ask a friend or IT shop in your area to fix it for you.

Thanks, I tried that Oct 25, 2018

Hi Selcuk,

Yes, I tried that. It's the problem with reinstalling Visual Basic 6 Runtime.

I ran the elevated command prompt and got the following error message:

The module "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvbvm60.dll" failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specific path or debut it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

Hi Sarah,

Unfortunately I have no idea about how to solve it other than the method described at

Hope DVX Support or any other Windows guru here at Proz.com will answer your question soon. ▲ Collapse
