Gdiplus.dll file

[ethan1231]

Recently a the gdiplus.dll file on my computer has went missing. I have tried every way there is to fix it. I downloaded the dll file from this webite and put it in the correct place and ran the "regsvr32 gdiplus.dll" command andit says the entry point was found but it was not loaded.

I even tried downloading the free trial of the dll fixer and when I try to run it It comes up with an error saying that the program cannot run because the gdiplus.dll file is missing from my computer which is frustrating because I downloaded it to fix that.

Is there another way I could go about fixing this?

Hi Ethan,

What is the exact and complete error message you get regarding this file?
When do you get this error?
Which program is requesting this file?

What have you tried so far for solving this error?

you could try Windows built in System Files Checker tool, SFC.

Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
On Windows 8 and later, press start, and type CMD. right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
sfc /scannow
The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

Also make sure you are up to date on your MS Visual C++ redistributable packages;

If using a 64bit (x64) system, install both 32bit (x86) and 64bit (x64).

I got this error about a week or two ago and all it says is that the program cannot run because the gdiplus file is missing from my computer which is missing from pretty much everything I try to run

I tried running the "regsvr32 gdiplus.dll" command and this popup appears that says "The module "gdiplus.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found.
Make sure that "gdiplus.dll"is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."

I then tried what you said by using the "sfc /scannow" command and when it got to about 72% complete the prompt said "Windows Resource Protection found currupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log


Is there something I am completely missing or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for trying to help me with my problem

Hi Ethan,

What is the exact and complete error message you get regarding this file? As in, Exact and complete?
When do you get this error? When logging on to Windows? Only when trying certain programs? Only when trying specific tasks in programs?
Which program is requesting this file? Look for Program.EXE in the error message. Often typed out in the title bar of the error message window.

Regarding SFC, try running it at least three times. Seems it can often repair a little bit at a time.
