How to Scan amp; Repair DLL Files

1. Understand terminology before choosing a .dll scan/repair software. .DLL refers to a collection of small files of code that serve as links between software and data. The registry, although used interchangeably with .dll, is different. The registry is essentially the nervous system for your computer. When you attempt to open a program, your computer searches the registry to find where the program is stored. The registry contains references to settings and values for the operating system, the programs, user profiles, document types, property sheet settings, system hardware and ports. If a computer begins to slow or crashes, it's usually because there's an error in the registry. Errors in the registry usually are caused by power outages, downloads and incomplete installation of software. In addition, registry errors can corrupt .dll files.
2. Note the error message, if you get one. A corrupted or missing .dll means that software you're requesting can't be found. For example, a win32.dll error message means the win32.dll file which involves data types, functions, objects, variables, constants, and classes that can be used to create applications for the Windows platform is missing or isn't retrieving data properly. Since the win32.dll defines how the operating system should operate, it's a critical file and needs to be replaced or repaired.
3. Install a top-rated program that scans, cleans and repairs the registry and any corrupted or missing .dll files.
