Loadlibrary failed with error 87: the Parameter is incorrect in IBM SPSS Statistics

Troubleshooting


Problem

I have installed IBM SPSS on a Windows operating system. When I try and launch the product, I receive the error message Loadlibrary failed with error 87: the Parameter is incorrect. SPSS then does not launch. What is happening?

Cause

Atig6pxx.dll file on machine

Environment

Windows

Resolving The Problem

The error is related to a specific file on your machine. Perform a search on your computer for a file called Atig6pxx.dll. This is an ATI graphics card file. Once you locate the file, right click on it and choose rename. Call it Atig6pxx.dll.bak.

Now launch SPSS by right clicking on the SPSS icon and choose run as administrator to launch. SPSS should launch normally.
