I've had similar (though not exactly the same) problems recently.

You may need to install the VC2008 runtime, available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

If it still doesn't work, you may need msvcr90.dll as well (this is just a suggestion, it may not make any difference).


Hope this helps,
