I get a message box titled RunDll that says "there was a problem starting streamci. The specified module could not be found."

Streamci.dll is used in the default Windows audio driver which is installed on your computer to handle the sound & audio on your system. It is one of the most commonly used .dll (dynamic link library) files on Windows, which leads it to post a series of errors if it ever becomes damaged or corrupted.
Since this file is used by Windows to control the use and installation of audio drivers, it would be logical to attempt to repair of any these files first. You can do this by following these steps:
For Windows 7
- Click “Start” > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound
- Under “Devices and Printers” heading, click Device Manager
- In the Window that opens, look for the speaker icon next to “Sound, video and game controllers”
- Expand this option then right click on the erroneous hardware (should have a yellow exclamation mark next to it)
- Click properties and go to “Driver“. Now click “Update Driver” and follow the on screen wizard
...
Perform SFC (System File Checker) scan and see if the issue occurs.
Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7
