Hello all, sorry if this is the wrong sub, the LCPDFR tab told me to include the logs, which do not involve anything regarding my question.

 

I have a problem regarding my Mic setup. Possibly caused by LCPDFR modifying files.

 

So, I downloaded LCPDFR a few days ago for the standard GTA4 and used the Automatic Installer. I used the Dsound way of installing because I already had a fix for the GFWL problem. But, I also downloaded and installed it once into my Episodes of LC folder, which I didnt even had installed on Steam, I continued regardless and downloaded it again for the standard GTA4. Everything worked fine. I played GTA4 with the mod and after that I thought about installing it for Episodes of LC too, which I did. Mod worked fine, but I used the different install method now.

I closed my game, started up Gmod, and tried to use my microphone. Noticing it didnt work, I thought it was turned off or had something else to do with it, thought nothing of it so I just used text chat instead. Next day, mic still didnt work, so I tried to configure my audio settings (I use Windows 8.) in the menu down on the right. Try to select my mic and it crashed. Showing the message "Gemeenschappelijk DLL-bestand van Windows Shell werkt niet meer!" which translates to "Common DLL-file of Windows Shell stopped working!"

I had never seen this, and it kind of shocked me. Thinking my microphone broke. Alright then. Today, bought a new mic for 40 Euro's and plugged it in. Same problem, rememberd downloading the mod and saw it had a DLL file; sound.dll. So I looked up the problem and it said things about a DLL file called: shell32.dll. That was still there, untouched so that couldnt be it. I tried resetting my computer to a few days ago before I installed the mod, but it just wouldnt do that, as I got an error. Now I have no clue what to do, and would really like to fix this because I use my mic for everything. 

 

Again, sorry if this is the wrong page. I just really need a fix for this if known! Tried re-starting too. No game.

 

 

Pic related, this is what happens. I can adjust speakers just fine, just if I click on one of the 2 mics it crashes and displays that.

We don't modify any Windows files.

Yup alright sorry! I finally fixed it just now. It was a problem with good old Panda. Thanks for the help anyways!
