I have just upgraded win 8 from win 7 on my sony vaio laptop. However, now when I start, on the screen it says "The program (VUDesktopToast.exe - System Error) can't start because mfc110u.dll is missing from your computer. Try installing to fix this problem'. So, please let me know how can I fix it?

    VU stands for Vaio Update. It is an application that runs in the background looking for driver updates from Sony's support database. Since my model (VGN-TZ150N) is not supported by Sony for Windows 8, I have uninstalled the application altogether.

    I recommend you check in Sony's support website if your system is supported and if so, if there is a newer version of Vaio Update, compatible with Windows 8.

    I hope this is helpful.

    The problem with my SONY VAIO notebook VPCEH40EB was resolved as follows:

    a) I found the executable VUDesktopToast.exe following this path:

    Computer> Local Disk (C :)> Program Files> Sony> VAIO Update

    b) I found that really there does not exist the file mfc110u.dll

    You must download and install the file.

    The steps are these:

    1. To download:

    http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mfc110u

    1. To install the file. Dll:

    http://www.dll-files.com/unzip.php

    Done! Solved!

    Hi,

    I have gone through the posts posted her regarding ;

    "VUDesktopToast.exe - System Error

    The program can't start because mfc110u.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"

    I have upgraded my laptop Vaio VPCCB35FN to Windows 8 Pro from existing Windows 7 Home premium.  I tried with solutions mentioned in the posts. to remove this error But not successful yet.

    This error comes after 5 minutes I login and when I click on "OK", the error does not appear again.

    There are no issues with connecting to external drive with system. All are working fine.

    Please guide me how to proceed further.

    Awaiting for reply.

    Thank you,

    Beig
