Windows 7: Bad image/D3DCOMPILER_43.dl error in Safari/BF3, tried everything!!

Also Have the Same bf3.exe bad image error.

Hello,

Another thing to try:
How To Restore a Missing DirectX DLL File

This is for another missing .DLL file but just do it for the D3DCOMPILER_43.dll that you are missing.

Well I ended up reformatting and that took care of it. Not sure if it was a problem that came out of a bad install when I first got my computer or if it arose out of a hard reset after I put in my new video card, either way problem is solved. Thank you for all of your support.

Glad to hear that it is sorted. Sorry we couldnt fix it without a reformat!

Hey I have a question for the OP:

I am experiencing the EXACT same issues from Battlefield 3 to chrome because of the D3DCompiler_43.dll errors.

You mentioned that you recently installed new video cards and that they could have possibly been the source of the error... Is there any more details about that? I also happen to recently installed a pair of video cards and now I am dealing with the same issue.

I'd like to see if this issue is still resolvable without reformatting... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

You could try un-installing the graphics cards via device manager and then re-installing the drivers.


Dave

So I went into device manager and uninstalled it, then went straight to the most recent drivers and the issue persists. Perhaps a repair install would do the trick?

from reading through this forum i am led to believe that my computer, when being formatted picked the error up as the error only began after being formatted. i guess i should go and reformat again, damn you far cry 3!
