"The program (VUDesktopToast.exe - System Error) can't start because mfc110u.dll is missing from your computer"

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

You must be kidding us, you mean to tell us we have to go through these trial and error process. Are we in a game theory class? Why can't Microsoft make it simpler for the masses? You are talking as if the general public is computer expert

Hi,

Thanks for your opinion and help.

The missing mfc100u.dll file is preventing me from installing my mobile modem which provides mobility.  I have decided to downgrade to Windows 7 although Windows 8 user interface is better.

Microsoft and SONY will need time to sort the problem with the upgrade. Perhaps a patch is needed to make Windows 8 work.

this problem accurred when that AMD graphic card installed on your sony laptop . upgrade graphic card from vaio update software to win8 .

 goodluck
