    I have Xfire to start up automatically on start up. When ever it trys to start up it gives me this error. "Can't find xfire_lang_us.dll please download and reinstall." I've tried this and it fixes the languages thing, but then gives me a whole bunch of other random crap. Does anyone know a fix for this?

    Uninstall then reinstall xfire. See if that helps. If not, start checking for malware :p

    Missing a .dll from the main folder without a reason is pretty odd.

    I've done that like 3 times. Uninstalling then reinstall xfire fixes the language problem, but adds many more. The stupid thing is the exact file it's looking for is in the xfire folder.

    It want's to encode something with it's xfire codec and some other thing.
    Like 10 things say can't find program to open. Tucan thing wants to open. It's a xls file so it wants to open excel. Some other random stuff as well.
