Cubase 12 wont start with “LoadLibrary Failed with error 87: The parameter is incorrect” error

The Cubase 12 LE AI wont start with “LoadLibrary Failed with error 87: The parameter is incorrect” while initializing video player. Any clue?

Fresh Windows installation with all available patches and upgrades, fresh Cubase download and installation (v 12.0.40 built on Jul 20, 2022)

System info:
|Edition|Windows 10 Pro|
|Version|21H2|

|Experience|Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0|

Please make sure that all Windows updates are indeed installed.

Download the latest driver for your GPU, uninstall the current driver, then install the one you downloaded.

Hi,

Try to reinstall Cubase and install it as administrator, please.

Update of the default ancient video driver with the latest, slightly less ancient helped. Thank you.

Thanks – I am an admin and installations generally require elevated privileges anyways.

FWIW, perhaps the Steinberg Download Assistant link should have “Run as Admin” flag set…
