I too just had this problem the other day.

It is a DLL downloaded during the install.

I believe the problem is one of the following: freetype6.dll, 
ft2plugin.dll, msvcr71.dll

I didn't bother going through the troubleshooting to find out which one 
or why. Just moved them to a backup folder, started the image and we 
were back in business. Minus FreeType plus of course.
