Kernelbase.dll MNCDS inoperable.

I was trying to avoid posting a new thread. But after much soul searching, googling, and meditation on the issue. I call for some help.

MNCDS will not start at all on both of my machines.
I might be missing something brutally obvious.

Machine 1 :

q9400 @3.2
8 gig ram
HD4870
HD4840
Win 7 Ultimate x64

MNCDS will not start. It produces this error:


Couldn't load shader file 'FluidVertexFactory'

Machine 2:

Pentium D @3.0gHz
2 gig Ram
Nvidia 260
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Same issue MNCDS will not start at all.
windows log, referencing Kernellbase.dll


Both machines run MNC client/game fine with no issues.
Obviously the gaming rig runs it alot better but that's not the issue here.

Should also point out i have Physx Direct X, C++ etc. Installed to the best of my abilities from the Support folder.


Any advice would be appreciated. I need to get this running for our next LAN event.

Regards.
