mfc120u.dll is missing

[EduGM]

When starting I get message:

Accelerometer.exe cant run because mfc120u.dll is missing.

Notebook seems to run OK, but is there possible harm to hardware to run without it?

How to download and where to place th file, please?

Tks!!

Hi,

Open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for HP 3D DriveGuard and select Uninstall.

When this has completed, restart the notebook.

When windows has reloaded, download and install the version of HP 3D DriveGuard on the following link.
