Error Starting Program

Post by rflory »

I have been using the Cumulus Program for over two weeks now. I had to reboot my computer and got an Error Starting Program Message:

The MSIMG32.DLL file is linked to missing export GDI32.DLL:GdiGradientFill.

Also got the following message C:\Program Files\Cumulus\cumulus.exe
A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Any ideas as to what has happened and what needs to be done to correct the problem.

Those DLLs are both Windows system files. Have you installed any software recently that might have replaced one or both of them with incorrect versions? I think you may need to restore them from your Windows installation CD. What version of Windows are you using?
