Hey everyone! If you <3 Swift Kit, and use it frequently, help the guys out for keeping this awesome client free to use every day! It would only take 160 random people each month from anywhere in the world to make a tiny USD $0.25 donation to raise the $40. Those who have donated, Thankyou so much! Those who haven't ever donated before, throw in 25 cents to earn some good KARMA points!!! Lets see the monthly goal reach its requirement. Kind Regards, Syphon.

When I try to download swiftkit at the end it says this application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem...........it still wont work after re-installing can anyone help?
OK i've performed all these steps and i get the same thing, it didnt help me i dont know why i've looked at the comments and looks like they got ignored or maybe you answered them by their email or w.e but please help me. I have been doing everything the steps said to do and still get the same problem I really hate playing runescape on the main page its dumb and boring I want to get back on swiftkit as soon as possible please.
did not work with me...
THANKS A BUNCH. I can see that some people had problems, and that swiftkit won't work. It didn't work for me the first time either. Then i deleted the file from the recycle bin, and it worked like a charm.
Does not work... Did everything.every frikkin launch button i press, the error appears. cant find MSVBVM60.DLL thingy... try reinstall it.
