sharerapidx9.dll

[Boogyman93]

Basically I just wasted 8€ on Gmod and now I get this every time I try to launch the game.

I tried to go to properties and defrag the game cache even though I knew nothing will happen. I went on youtube and I found a video suggesting to go to start/run, type cmd and then type in "net localgroup administrators NetworkService /ADD" and it didn't work. I went on google and I found many pages suggesting to type in the launchers properties "-dxlevel 70" or "-dxlevel 80" and that also didn't work.
Could it be because I installed the patch for DX9 from Microsoft.com?
Pls help, I would rely like to play G-Mod online.

EDIT: I just saw that I accidentally wrote sharerapidx9.dll instead of shaderapidx9.dll. Dono how to change the title.

this is a fix for vista users

 

[Boogyman93]

And I have XP

EDIT: I had all those options and I did everything that said there. After the reboot I tried launching the game and I still get the same error

From what I can google, the only thing that seems to fix this for people is a complete reinstall of your windows...:S

The only other thing I can find is this, you can always try it:

Resolution
Gamers have been complaining about the delayed response from the manufacturer, Steam, regarding their shaderapidx9.dll trouble tickets. Steam’s long turnaround time has left many gamers trying to find a fix on their own. Steam has responded though and has suggested a possible workaround to the problem.
Other gamers have also come up with solutions to the shaderapidx9.dll issue on their own accord.
How to Fix Shaderapidx9.dll Faulting Module Error
Method 1 – Steam Fix

1. Copy wmiprvse.exe from <code>C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386</code>.
2. Paste the wmiprvse.exe file to <code>C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem</code>.
3. Restart Steam.

If the above method does not work for you, proceed to the other suggested methods.
Method 2

1. Copy the text below into MS Notepad.<code>echo off</code>net stop winmgmt pause
   c:
   cd c:\windows\system32\wbem
   rd /S /Q repository
   regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll
   regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\userenv.dll
   mofcomp cimwin32.mof
   mofcomp cimwin32.mfl
   mofcomp rsop.mof
   mofcomp rsop.mfl
   for /f %%s in (’dir /b /s *.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %%s
   for /f %%s in (’dir /b *.mof’) do mofcomp %%s
   for /f %%s in (’dir /b *.mfl’) do mofcomp %%s
   mofcomp exwmi.mof
   mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange wbemcons.mof
   mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange smtpcons.mof
   mofcomp exmgmt.mof
2. Save this as a batch file named shaderapidx9_fix.bat.
3. Open a DOS window.
4. Type in the file name at the prompt.
5. Press Enter.
6. Answer Y when prompted.
7. Press Enter.

Method 3
Run the following commands.
<code>net stop winmgmt
winmgmt /resetrepository C:\Windows\System32\wbem\repository
net start winmgmt</code>
This method and the succeeding methods are geared for users who have a WMI problem. The WMI issue seems to stem from the installation of AOL Instant Messenger and other Instant Messaging programs.
These methods will work only if you are experiencing the WMI problem.
To find out if your issue stems from WMI, follow the steps below.

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Go to Administrative Tools.
3. Go to Computer Management next.
4. Open up Services and Applications.
5. Go to WMI Control and select More Actions.
6. Go to Properties.

If there is a WMI issue, you will get an error saying access is denied.
Another way to tell is to look at the network icon on your taskbar. If the network icon has a cross mark but you are connected, then your issue is WMI connected. The same is true if you cannot access the Network and Sharing Center.
Method 4 – Windows Vista Ultimate or Business Users:

1. Right click on Computer.
2. Click Manage.
3. Double click on Users and Groups.
4. Click Groups.
5. Right click Administrators.
6. Click on Add to group.
7. Click on Add.
8. Now click Advanced.
9. Click Find Now.
10. Double click on Local Service.
11. Click OK
12. You should now be able to see NT Authority\Local Service.
13. Click OK.
14. Close Computer Management.
15. Reboot your PC.

Method 5 – Vista Home Edition

1. Go to the command prompt.
2. Type in <code>net localgroup Administrators /add Local Service</code>.
3. Then type in <code>net localgroup Administrators</code>.
4. Check if LOCAL NT AUTHORITY/SERVICE is listed. If you see LOCAL NT AUTHORITY/SERVICE, this means that the fix worked.
5. Reboot your PC.

Method 6

1. Uninstall all your drivers.
2. Download the latest drivers from official sites.
3. Reinstall all updated drivers.

Method 7
If all suggested fixes do not work for you, a fresh reinstall of Windows may be the only solution.

I just tried method 1 and it didn't work.
I don't understand what i have to do exactly at method 2 and 3 but I did check if I have WMI problems and everything seems fine.
Even though I have XP I was able to do everything at method 4.
Method 6 - I just did that today and still nothing.
Method 7 - I am not willing to reinstall my windows just to find out that my problem will probably persist and because some incompetent people from Steam are not able to fix a .dll problem.

Thanks for the help Sicron but I think this case is hopeless. I'll just wait till Steam comes up with a fix for this.
Strange thing is that HL2 and HL2 Lost Coast work fine. This problem seems to be only in G-Mod. I think I'll try to replace the shaderapidx9.dll with the one from HL2, see if that works.

Method 2 is a step by step copy paste job of creating a batch file and using it.

Meaning you copy the text into notepad and save it with the name it says. Then you execute the file. Simple as that.

 

[Boogyman93]

I still don't understand all of it, sorry.
I don't understand what it means by"MS Notepad.echo", I don't know how to save it as a batch file and I am not 100% what a DOS window is.

Method 2 -

c:
cd c:\windows\system32\wbem
rd /S /Q repository
regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll
regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\userenv.dll
mofcomp cimwin32.mof
mofcomp cimwin32.mfl
mofcomp rsop.mof
mofcomp rsop.mfl
for /f %%s in (’dir /b /s *.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %%s
for /f %%s in (’dir /b *.mof’) do mofcomp %%s
for /f %%s in (’dir /b *.mfl’) do mofcomp %%s
mofcomp exwmi.mof
mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange wbemcons.mof
mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange smtpcons.mof
mofcomp exmgmt.mof

-Copy all of that and put into a Notepad Document and save it as "shaderapidx9_fix.bat"
-Then go to Start->All Programs-> Accessories->Command Prompt
-Type in the file name at the prompt.
-Press Enter.
-Press Y when prompted.
-Press Enter.

Should fix it.

Either I did something bad or method 2 didn't even try to work.

I did switch
"c:
cd c:\windows\system32\wbem"

with

"d:
cd d:\windows\system32\wbem"

because when I had my windows reinstalled a long time ago, C had to be switched with D for some reason.

Weird.. I would send you the file I have but its not on any 4 of my computers.

You saved the file incorrectly. You named the file right but you forgot to select "all files" in the save settings and thus your file became shaderapidx9_fix.bat.txt instead of just shaderapidx9_fix.bat

 

[Boogyman93]

I just tried it again. I selected "All Files" like you said and I still get the same thing.

EDIT: I don't know witch one worked or what just happened but I just started the game, hoping it will work somehow and it did
THANKS GUYS!
