How do I Fix Broken Dll Files Links in Windows Vista?

1. Back up your system using the built-in System Restore tool on your computer. To access the System Restore feature, go to 'Start,' select 'All Programs,' choose 'Accessories,' click the 'System Tools' folder and select 'System Restore.' Choose 'Create a Restore Point' on the first screen and follow the directions in each window to create a backup of the system.
2. Download the Dll file with the broken link from a Dll file download site. Two websites that offer free Dll file downloads include DLL Files and DLL Download System. Click on any file link on the page to download the file to the 'Downloads' folder of your computer.
3. Open the 'Downloads' folder or the location of the file you downloaded. Unpack the contents of the zip file that you downloaded by right-clicking the file and choosing 'Extract.' The Dll file saves separately to the folder where the zip file resides.
4. Click 'Start,' select 'Computer,' choose 'Local Disk (C:)' and open the 'Windows' folder.
5. Scroll down and find the file that needs replacing in the alphabetical list of Windows Dll files. If you do not see the DLL file that you need to replace in the 'Windows' folder, double-click the 'System32' folder to check for the DLL file in there. When you find the file, right-click it and choose 'Delete.' If you are not logged into the system as administrator, you may be prompted to enter the administrator password to finish deleting the file.
6. Drag the Dll file that you downloaded into the 'Windows' folder. The Dll file replaces the deleted file, and should allow system programs that you couldn't get to work to operate properly again.
