I installed TB on my Win7 machine, (lenovo, if it makles a difference) connected it to my e-mail account. It worked. Later I lost it because I did not make copies to desktop etc. So I did that. Came back later, and the Thunderbird will not come up. Windows gave me a fault module name:MSVCR100.dll Great! A module!

Here's what Windows is telling me: Problem Event Name: BEX 

 Application Name:	thunderbird.exe

I hope somebody has seen this before. FWIW Firefox does seem to work properly.

The "module" is the Microsoft visual C++ runtime. Something else you have installed has stomped it or it has just been corrupted is my guess. Just download a fresh copy and install it and it will hopefully repair the issue.

Note that the Microsoft crash data is not useful here, but the Mozilla crash reporter information is, if you allowed it to be sent. see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozilla-crash-reporter

Thanks. I presume I can get a fresh copy from MS. Is that right? Just go to MS.com and get it? When I download it will get to the right place without my intervention? Regrettably, I am not fully functional as a sys admin. I am going to the URL you posted, right now. Thanks again.

Nope just reinstall Thunderbird.... it has a copy in the installer. Note that reinstalling over an existing copy works as a repair and does not affect your data or settings. They are stored in a different location.

Otherwise you need the visual C++ Deployment toolkit from MS and that is probably a larger download than Thunderbird and will install stuff you have no use for at all.
