How to Fix WinHTTP DLL


Install Important System Updates
1. Click the 'Start' button in Windows and expand the 'All Programs' folder. Click the 'Windows Update' link that appears in the first program column. This will launch Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2. Click the 'Express Install' button. Windows will begin searching for all important updates that you have yet to install, which will take a few minutes.
3. Click the 'Install Updates' button if Windows finds any important updates for your computer. The updates will begin downloading and installing immediately, but the process can take some time.
4. Reboot your computer when prompted to do so after the installation process concludes.
5. See if problems related to winhttp.dll still occur. If they do not, the updates likely fixed the problem, as updated versions of this file are included with most service pack updates for most versions of Windows. If you're still having problems, try the next section on restoring the last working version of winhttp.dll.
Restore the Last Working Version
6. Click the 'Start' button in Windows. Expand 'All Programs,' then 'Accessories' and then 'System Tools.' Click 'System Restore.'
7. Click the bubble next to 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' and then click the 'Next' button.
8. Select a restore point from the calendar by clicking on a bold date. If you just started experiencing problems suddenly, perhaps after installing conflicting software or getting a virus, choose a restore point from right before you started having problems. If you think the problem may have been there for some time, use the 'Back' button next to the calendar to scroll back to the earliest restore point. After you click a restore point, click the 'Next' button.
9. Read the restore details on the confirmation screen; then click the 'Next' or 'Finish' button. The computer will restore itself and reboot automatically, which may take several minutes.
10. Click 'OK' in the confirmation dialog box that appears after Windows starts up. See if you still have problems related to winhttp.dll. If you do, the best solution may be to replace the file manually. Find these instructions in the final section.
Replace Winhttp.dll Manually
11. Use your Web browser to navigate to a site where you can download winhttp.dll for free. You can find a link to a reliable download site in the Resources section.
12. Click the download link, save the file to your hard drive and open it. It will open in WinZip or your equivalent unzipping software. Unzip the winhttp.dll file to your desktop.
13. Double-click the 'My Computer' icon; then navigate to the system folder. If you're using Windows XP or Vista on a 64-bit system, this folder is at 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64.' If you're using either of those operating systems on a 32-bit system, the folder is at 'C:\Windows\System32.' In Windows NT and 2000, the folder is located at 'C:\WINNT\System32.' Finally, in Windows 95, 98 and Me, it's at 'C:\Windows\System.'
14. Drag the winhttp.dll file from the desktop into the system folder. If you see a prompt asking you whether or not you want to replace the existing file with the new one, click 'Yes.'
15. Restart Windows. Upon boot-up, Windows will register the new .dll file automatically, and you should be able to use Web- and network-related software normally.

How to Remove a Corrupt File in Windows


1. Find a replacement for the corrupted file. Websites that offer free downloads of Windows system files include DLL Download System, DLL Nerd and DLL Files. Unzip the downloaded DLL file by going to the folder you saved the file into, right-clicking the file and clicking the 'Extract All' option.
2. Connect an external hard drive or flash drive to your computer. When the 'AutoPlay' window opens, click the option to 'Open Folder To View Contents' to open the external drive window.

To transfer the file to the external drive, click the file, hold down the mouse button, and drag the file into the external hard drive window. Once the file is transferred, click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the system tray, select the external drive in the window that comes up, and click 'Stop.' When the message appears telling you it is safe to remove the device, unplug the external drive from the computer.
4. Reboot the computer in Windows safe mode. To boot into safe mode, go to 'Start' and 'Restart,' and, as the computer boot up, keep tapping the 'F8' key until you see the 'Advanced Boot Options' screen. Use the down arrow on your keyboard to select 'Safe Mode' and press the 'Enter' key.
5. Search the 'C:' drive for the Windows file that needs to be replaced. Go to 'Start,' 'Computer' and double-click the 'Local Disk (C:)' drive to get onto the 'C:' drive. Type the name of the file that needs to be removed into the search box that appears at the top of the window and press 'Enter' to find the file. Right-click the file in the list and choose 'Open File Location' to open the folder that contains the system file you want to replace.
6. Plug the external drive back into the computer. Again, choose 'Open Folder To View Files' from the 'AutoPlay' window. When the folder opens, find the DLL file and drag it into the folder that contains the corrupted file.
7. Click 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the original file with the new file. If you are not logged in under the computer's administrator account, you may be asked to enter the administrator password. Leave the password blank if you never created an administrator password and press 'Enter.' The corrupted file is replaced with the working file.

How to Fix a Flash OCX Error


Rename a Copy of the Most-Recent Adobe Flash OCX File
1. Start Windows Explorer and look for files named \'Flash*.ocx\' in the folder C:\\Windows\\System32\\Macromed\\Flash\\. (\'Flash*.ocx\' means any file whose name starts with the letters \'Flash\' followed by 1 or more digits and/or letters, such as \'Flash9.ocx\' or \'Flash10b.ocx\'). If there is more than 1 such file, identify the file with the most-recent date.
2. Click once on the file's icon and press \'Ctrl+C,\' and then press \'Ctrl+V.\' (This creates the file \'Copy of Flash*.ocx;\' its actual name is based on the name of the file you just copied.) Click on the new file's name (shown below its icon) and enter \'Flash\' as the new name.
3. Close all open applications and reboot your computer. Rebooting ensures all running software that's not visible to you and that relies on Adobe Flash software is restarted automatically.

How to Stop Errors in Laptops


1. Read the error on your screen. Take note of the troubleshooting tips in the error window if there are any available. If you are receiving an 'illegal operation' error when trying to run a program, close the program immediately, as it may already be corrupted. If you need the program badly, uninstall and reinstall it to the computer.
2. Determine if the error is caused by data that cannot be read from a source. If you just inserted a CD or DVD into your optical drive and the error pops out every time you try to read the media, the CD or DVD may be dirty or the data saved in it is corrupted. Remove the optical media, place another data disc into the CD/DVD-ROM and see if it is read by the computer.
3. Run a computer scan using your anti-virus software. If you do not have one installed, download one from the Internet, and make sure that the utility is always updated. Viruses and malware can alter data in your computer, causing programs to malfunction.
4. Make sure that you have enough memory in your computer if you are receiving an error that says 'out of memory' or 'not enough memory.' This error may arise whenever you try to install a program and your system does not meet the minimum memory requirements for the program to function properly. If you are sure that you have enough computer memory to run the program, try reinstalling it to the computer. Otherwise, consider upgrading your computer memory or uninstall other programs that are no longer in use to give the new program space in your system.
