I keep getting message libcef.dll is not in the dynamic link library - very annoying - I think I deleted it in error trying to tidy up my computer. Message on booting up says
procedure entry point cef_browser_create_sync not in dynamic link library

Yet again another new piece of software to install that crashes on start up because of one thing or another. This time its GTA5 and libcef.dll. Mostly all I read on forums is "I have this problem too" or "uninstall and reinstall and while your at do your birthing over, Im sure your mother won't mind." Same with MS Office 365 this week they have had me uninstall and reinstall 3 times for a f**king reactivation of software that is already on my f**king computer. Ive been in IT for 3 decades. What has come of it is a f**king unmitigated disaster.
