How to Stop DLL File Errors


1. Go to dll-files.com. This site contains an extremely large library of available .dll files and will most likely contain the file you need to correct the system. The files are organized by letter. Click the letter of the file you need; then scroll down until you find it. Click the .dll file you're requesting, and you'll be taken to a new page.
2. Click 'Click here to go to the download of ...'; the name of your desired file will be included here. A small pop-up window will appear once you click this.
3. Click the 'download-desired file-' link. It will now be downloaded as a zip file.
4. Open up the zip file, which will launch the computer's zip software. If you do not have zip software installed, you can follow the link in 'Resources,' and there, you will find a free trial download of WinZip. Download and install the software. Once the program has been installed, you can launch it and open the zip file.
5. Change the 'extract' location of the .dll file to C:\windows\system32\. This will place the missing .dll file into the computer's directory. This is normally where the files are kept
6. Click 'Extract.' The file will be sent to the desired location in the directory. Now try to open the file or program that was bringing up all the .dll file errors. These should no longer be appearing now that the new replacement .dll has been installed.
