anyone having trouble with a rtl-sdr software? I've downloaded sdr++ and sdr# from airspy and neither one works

- Start date
By not working do you mean not picking up the rtl-sdr?
if you are running windows and haven't already done so read the rtlsdr blog guide, especially the zadig part.

It's not so much me not knowing how to use the software if the software's lack of ability of working I can't get nothing to download and work right as coming up with either a kernal 32 error code or an error code stating that this dll is missing or that dll is missing regardless of what website I download the software from it's almost like the software that's out there is corrupt
Which DLL is missing? (What does the error message say? Have a screen shot?)
Antivirus being overly aggressive when you install SDR#?
I have many SDR# installs and haven't had an problems. I use RTL-SDR Blog receivers and downloaded all my software from them. Never had any issues.
If you downloaded the software from the real RTL-SDR Blog website, then things should work.

For us to be helpful, what computer are you using? Or are you using a cell phone? Did you run zadig? (you did not mention it). (Also definitely try using using HDSDR). It is well worth it to find out what you are doing wrong. Doing scanning or HF listening without having an SDR is like having cake without the icing.

Do it manually
Manual Installation of SDR#
Manual Installation of the RTL-SDR drivers with SDR# for the RTL-SDRNote you only need to do a manual driver installation if the automatic installation described in the quick start guide has failed.1) Download the RTL-SDR Drivers, and extract the rtlsdr.dll file from the x86 folder into the SDR#...

I think I've tried that but I'll try it again
No. Works fine if it is installed properly. An open mind helps immensely, as does an up-to-date OS.
I just recently downloaded SDR# to Windows 10 {2 days ago} and had the same problem , Im trying to remember what the fix was for me. I think my biggest issue was that I wasn't downloading the right software for my system (I had the same errors that you are showing) . Be sure you are downloading 32bit or 64bit , which ever one matches your computer.
