Can't open MBAM after V 4 install


Recommended Posts

After installing MBAM V 4, a box appeared that said "loadlibrary failed with error 87 the parameter is incorrect". I right clicked on the MBAM icon in the tray and selected "open Malwarebytes" and the same error box popped up. I rebooted, tried again to open MBAM, and got the same error. I downloaded and ran the MBAM troubleshooter, had it clean uninstall MBAM and reinstall, but I still get the error. Files generated by MBAM troubleshooter attached, except for the license key.

Hi @ronzie009,

Thanks for reporting.

  • Could you carry out the following instructions please as some of the logs collected by the Support Tool are cut off: https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-1318
  • If you boot the computer into Safe Mode, do you see the same issue with opening the user interface?
  • Could you provide a full screenshot depicting the error message please.

Hi Porthos. Zip file attached. Thank you

Please try uninstalling and reinstalling Malwarebytes for Windows using the Malwarebytes Support tool. 

Uninstall and reinstall using the Malwarebytes Support Tool
https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-2674

Let me know if that clears up the issue or not.

Tried to uninstall via control panel - no avail. In safe not - no avail. Ran the mbam ''tool'' in safe mode and uninstalled. I hope that mbam and their ''special tool'' didn't brake my new windows 10. 
Btw, mbam was so light and good app for regular scans. What you did last several years with mbam is awful. Buggy, buggy, buggy, buggy, buggy.

Hi everyone,

If you have an AMD graphics card, could you start by ensuring the drivers are up-to-date.

If the issue persists, please do the following:

  • Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard at the same time.
  • Type dxdiag and click OK.
  • Wait for the window the open. It may take ~30 seconds.
  • Once opened, click Save all information.
  • Save the file to your Desktop and attach it in your next reply.


Afterwards:

  • Ensure mbam.exe is not running.
  • Please download DebugView using the link below.
    https://live.sysinternals.com/dbgview.exe
  • Open your Downloads folder.
  • Double-click nHEhMHp.png Dbgview.exe. Click Yes if prompted by AVOiBNU.jpg User Account Control.
  • Wait for the DebugView window to open.
  • Once open, attempt to open the Malwarebytes user interface and wait for the error.
  • Wait 20 seconds.
  • Click File followed by Save as.
  • Select your Desktop as the save location and save the file.
  • Please attach the saved file in your next reply.

I am getting this error when trying to open or reinstall MBAM 4 through an RDP session to my Windows 10 desktop.  It seems the MBAM UI is choking on something when working within the RDP GDI redirector.

If I work locally on this PC's console or connect remotely with AnyDesk (scraping the framebuffer from the AMD-based video chipset), the MBAM UI comes up without issue.

I am also using  RDP and have an AMD card. When I access the computer directly MBAM 4 works fine. With RDP I get the error message "loadlibrary failed with error 87 the parameter is incorrect"

Using Teamviewer, it all works fine. 

Hopefully Malwarebytes will push through an update to fix this soon and will communicate with us
