Re: Dragon Age 2 error physxcooking.dll Missing
To solve the issue you have to go through the following steps :
- Remove physxcooking.dll if you forund the same .
- Reboot, just in case.
- A shot of Driver Sweeper, run an analysis and remove the remains of PhysX.
- Attacking in the registry (start-run-regedit).
- Search for the word AGEIA (or only go in the key below? HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Classes \ VirtualStore \ MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Ageia Software) and remove the folder Ageia in question
- ATTENTION: Council house, before deleting a registry trick, think about doing a "export " of this file AGEIA to be able to leave it later, if ever it was worse. There is no trash in the registry .
- Reinstall PhysX
- 6.5-(optional) Burning a candle
- Launch the game
I am sure that doing the above steps will definitely allow you to solve the issue and then you can definitely play the game and gain back the access on it.

Well what you have to do here is that just see which video card or graphic card that you are using and then you have to just remove the same and install it again and see whether you are able to fix the issue and if not then your graphic card is not doing well and giving you the errors. I am sure that changing the graphic card will definitely help you to solve the issue here. And I hope that this will definitely work for you

Since I installed version 9.09.0408 cited above I have no record AGEIA in my regedit. I reinstalled the latest version available on the Nvidia site (the 09/09/1112) and now I AGEIA folder in the regedit but even giving full control of file and folder under all users have the problem persists. And I noticed (since I reinstalled version 9.09.408) as recognized by my pc version is version 9.09.0203. I obtained this information through cleaner software that gives me the version of software installed. So error on the part of cleaner. Please help
