How to Repair a Missing Dll


1. Write down the name of the DLL file that you are missing or need to replace. The name of the DLL will show up in the error message, such as 'Couldn't find filename.dll.' You will need this file name to download the correct DLL file for your computer.
2. Open a Web browser and navigate to a site where you can download a DLL replacement, such as DLL-files, afreeDLL or DLL-Downloads.
3. Search for the name of the DLL that you have written down. Some sites may not have the specific DLL that you need, so you may need to consult multiple sites.
4. Read the specific DLL file's instructions, which can be found on the DLL download site, before downloading it. Some DLL files can simply be downloaded and replaced, but others cannot. Check for any warnings about the DLL to make sure it is the one you need.
5. Download the DLL, then follow its specific instructions to install it. This procedure varies depending upon which one you need, but you should be able to install the DLL without any extra software or tools.
