the mfc42.dll file is one of the dll files for directx, so if anyone has this problem, try reinstalling directx.
edit: i looked for the file and saw that there was 4 copies on my comp, and the properties said that the product name was visual c++, so spoony was right, it is a common file 
but still it wouldnt hurt to do a reinstall of directx if you have that problem again...
