The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). HELP!!

Hello, 

Firstly I ask you excuse any irritation I show in the writing of this but I've been struggling to fix this the past three or so days since I noticed this issue and it's quite late. So following the big EA server crash that occurred a few days ago, Feb 9th I think? Anyway I couldn't connect to the servers that day, fine, I set aside the game a while. Following the update after that I decided to play the game again when I was suddenly met with messages such as "the program can't start because msvcp100.dll is missing" in addition to msvcr100.dll which confused me as I didn't know the slightest about what this meant. I did some digging and tried several tricks to resolve this, none worked. Finally I manually added the files to the System32 file and the SysWOW64 file which seemed to resolve these messages, hooray you might think, you think wrong. When I went to open BF3 instead of being met by the blaring error message relating to these missing msv things I was met with "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." huh... So to cut a long story short, I've tried a bunch of things, tried to update dx11 (same message pops up for that!) tried to use the vcredist_x64 to no avail and went to microsoft to download the C++ 2010 and other gizmos to attempt to fix it. Nothing has worked. At this point it feels like I've tried everything short of sacrificing a goat to fix this issue. I've updated my graphics card and other games I play work fine including The Old Republic so solutions would be grand. I'm running a GeForce 960M GPU with 4th gen i7 if that helps at all.

Thanks.

    Have you tried a simple "repair game"?  Right-click on the game in your library and select "repair game".  After this is complete, reboot the PC and try playing again.

    Yeah, I forgot to mention this. I have tried this several times it helped with neither of the issues I've had.

    Ok.  Another thing that might help is to run both Origin and Battlefront as Admin.  See if that helps out.

    PS.  I forgot to mention in my last post - yes it is ALWAYS a good idea to post your specs.  Every time you have any issue, post your specs with the rest of the post and any error codes you receive, which you did, so thank you.  Just next time, post more like RAM, OS, etc, or better yet, post a DxDiag.

    Firstly thank you for keeping with the helping and advising, firstly, secondly I just tried running both origin and battlefront in admin but unfortunately it didn't work. I'm posting DxDiag. Again thanks for the help so far, really the only thing that confuses me is that prior to the update the game was opening fine, even during the update I could open it.

    I've tried it and still getting the error. Thanks for your help but I think I'll have to wait for the next update, hopefully after that it'll work. It's very strange.
