There was a problem starting hid.dll
Error loading hid.dll
The code execution cannot proceed because hid.dll was not found
hid.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error

Verify that Hid.dll isn't in your Recycle Bin for some reason. It's happened. If you find it, right-click on Hid.dll and click Restore.
Hid.dll Not Found - Repair, Uninstall, or Reinstall
If you run the applications installer, you might be offered the option to repair the installation. That should replace the missing Hid.dll file.
