How to Replace Comdlg32


1. Go to the Resources section of this artice and click on the Comdlg32.dll download link. This will lead you to a site that provides the replacement download for the file.
2. Click the underlined text 'Click here to go to the download of Comdlg32.dll.' A small window will now appear. In the middle of the page click 'Download comdlg32.dll.' The file will now begin to download
3. Open the downloaded file. This will initiate the computer's Zip extraction program. If your computer does not currently have a Zip program installed you can download a free trial of WinZip from http://www.winzip.com.
4. Chose an extraction location when the Zip program loads. Select the location 'C:\\Windows\System32.' This is where primarily all .dll files are stored. When you click 'Extract' you will be informed a file already exists and asked if you'd like to replace it. This is the old Comdlg32.dll file. Click 'Yes' and the new file will be extracted, replacing the old corrupted or damaged file.
