title: How to Fix: "ImportError: DLL load failed The specified procedure could not be found." when the DLLs are there
body: <p>Updated to new Anaconda 2018, opened a jupyter notebook that worked prior to the update. Having problems with loading seaborn into the script. Tried following several threads on this but nothing worked <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43549269/seaborn-importerror-dll-load-failed-the-specified-module-could-not-be-found.">question</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried: </p>
  
  <p>-Setting Enviromental Variables</p>
  
  <p>-Reinstalling Anaconda2018 </p>
  
  <p>-Uninstalled and reinstalled seaborn using conda </p>
  
  <p>-Reinstalled SciPy </p>
  
  <p>Running out of options as I want to use Seaborn 0.9.0 and python-3.7 but I cannot seem to get 3.7 to play with 0.9.0. Help? </p>
