How to Restore DLL Files

Restore DLL Files in Your System Directory
1. Navigate to a site that provides DLL downloads, such as DLL-files.com or DLL Files (dlldll.com). In the Search box, type in the name of the DLL file that you want to download.
2. Make sure that JavaScript and pop-up windows are enabled in your Web browser. Click the Download link for the DLL file that you want. The downloaded link is likely to be in a compressed, .zip format.
3. Extract the DLL file. In some versions of Windows, you'll need to use an external file extractor such as WinZip or WinRAR to extract the zipped DLL file.
4. Place the extracted file in the directory of the program that is requesting the file. If that doesn't work, extract the file to your system directory, when prompted. Here are the locations for the different operating systems:C:\Windows\System32 for Windows 7, Vista, XP.
C:\Windows\ for Windows 95/98/ME.
C:\WINNT\System32 for Windows NT/2000.Programs on your PC can now access the DLL file from the your system directory.
Install the DLL File in the Program's Directory
5. If the problem still occurs, navigate to the "Start" menu and select "Run."
6. Type "regsvr32" (without quotes) in the applicable field. Hit the spacebar on the keyboard.
7. Type the DLL file name along with the suffix ".DLL," (without quotes) and press "Enter." The DLL installation is completed.
