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?

    2Beig:

    I recommend that you visit the VAIO support webpage and check if your model is supported for Windows 8. If it is, you will find the new drivers and other software to be updated. If it is not, don't worry, just uninstall any VAIO application that gives you errors.

    I have not had problems with any drivers for devices (camera, finger scanner, audio, etc.). I also upgraded from Windows 7.

    Good luck

    Hi HF021,

    I visited the Vaio support page. There are no drivers specific for VUdesktop error.

    I have posted a query to the support team of Sony. I am waiting for the reply.

    All applications on my system are working fine except the error. If things don't work out then I will think about uninstalling the Vaio update application or I will upgrade to Windows 8 again.

    Hi,

    My notebook is still working properly (purchased with Windows 7 and upgraded to Windows 8).

    I made my fix in Windows 8 (as my first post).

    But I agree with you: if anyone still having this problem despite all efforts to solve it, then it's best to uninstall VAIO Update, until Sony update their programs (softwares, drivers, etc.)

    Thanks.
