Hi,

1.     Have you made any changes to the computer recently?

2.     When exactly are you getting this message?

3.     What is the complete error message or error code?

I would suggest you to perform a SFC scan and check if it helps.

Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

Note: You requires Windows XP disc to perform a SFC scan.

    The "Answer" by the Microsoft engaged Support Engineer "expert" is impossible to be the answer for reasons stated later.  That impossible to work reply was marked as the "Answer" by another Microsoft engaged "expert".

    Suggesting sfc  /scannow as a fix is akin to saying "I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it".

    You have to understand how MS Answers works...  When one Microsoft engaged "expert" makes a reply. if the topic goes idle for 5-10 days (6 days in this case), another Microsoft engaged "expert" will mark that reply as the "Answer" even if it is impossible to be the answer.  The reply doesn't have to work, it doesn't have to be right, it doesn't have to be tested, it doesn't have to make sense, it doesn't even have to be close - it IS the "Answer".

    On my OneDrive is a copy of two msvcp100.dll files - one from an XP system and one from a Windows 7 system although they appear to be the same (and they could be).  I don't have any Windows 10 system so can't recreate the problem.

    If it is your desire you can download those files one at a time, put them in your %windir%\system32 folder and maybe it will resolve the issue.  If the XP one doesn't work, maybe the Windows 7 one will work.

    Look for the files on my OneDrive which is here:

    https://onedrive.live.com/?id=EC673DF6F8DFEE84!109&cid=EC673DF6F8DFEE84

    After downloading rename the file:

    rename   msvcp100_for_XP.dll    msvcp100.dll

    Put it in your windows\system32 folder.

    That's not acceptable to me.  Why isn't Microsoft giving us a solution that lets us do it all?
