Error message

Can anyone help me,
Some of my programs fail to start and I get this message ;-

"This application has failed to start because MFC42.DLL was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem. "

How do I fix this problem?

Please post the complete Error Report.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.
Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the
message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.
