1394598 2015-02-18 22:55:00 I am using Windows 8 . 1 64 bit with all the recent updates installed . I attempted to load the game MotoGP 13 . This installed and created a shortcut to run the program on the desk top . When launching the game I get and error that vcomp100 . dll is missing . The program will not run . The suggestion was to reinstall the game . I ran the installation as a repair, uninstalled the game and reinstalled it . Restated the computer and the error is still there . Totally useless . [typical of so many computer games]

I searched online for a solution . The problem pops up on various searches . Potential solutions directs you to third party sites that ask you to download and install a program that is supposed to fix this .

Here is a link to one of these sites

. com/guides/motogp-13-how-to-solve-error-vcomp100-dll-guide-and-download . html" target="_blank">driversnest . com

When clicking this link the antivirus software program issues a warning about downloading this, ESET NOD 32 in this case .

Is this problem addressable without opening up the computer to malicious software?

It's probably missing some version of the above

1394600 2015-02-19 01:29:00 Thanks you for the reply to my post. I did download and run

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64). After the installation and restart the problem is still there.

I already have the current version of Framework and Direct X

Enable .NET Framework 3.5, heres how support.microsoft.com
