How to Find and Replace a Missing or Damaged DLL File

1. Open a Web browser on your computer, then point your browser to a DLL browsing, search and download site such as DLL-Downloads, afreeDLL or DLL-files.
2. Search the website for the specific DLL file(s) you need. You can search using a variety of methods, such as typing in the name of the DLL file completely or viewing DLLs by categories that are organized by how the file name starts.
3. Download the file and any additional files attached with it to your computer. Many may come with instructions or something else that will assist you with installing the file and putting it in its appropriate locations. In some cases the directions will be on the site itself as you download the file, so keep the pages open just in case.
4. Install the DLL or place it in the folder where it belongs. If you are replacing a broken DLL, replace the file that currently exists. As each DLL is different, its installation process may vary, so consult the specific instructions before moving too far ahead.
5. Test the DLL installation by attempting to recreate any errors you experienced before, such as by running a program or process that resulted in the error messages. If done correctly, there should be no more errors. If the error came as a result of multiple DLL errors, you may need to repeat the above process for more than one file.

How to Repair a System File

1. Download a replacement file for your system on another computer. DLL Files and DLL Download System both have system files that can be downloaded for free (see 'Resources'.) Click on the first letter of the file name to view the list of files that begin with that letter, and then select the name of the DLL file that you need to download from the list.
2. Unzip the contents of the file. The file is zipped when downloaded. To unzip the file, go to the 'Downloads' folder of your system, right-click the file name and choose 'Extract.'

To transfer the file, plug the device into a USB port of the computer, go to the 'Start' menu, then go to 'My Computer' or 'Computer' and double-click the device to open it.

Drag the main file with the DLL extension from the folder on the hard drive to the external storage device.

How to Troubleshoot an Adobe Runtime Error

1. Close other programs you are running at the same time. These programs take up RAM and slow down your Adobe software. Most Adobe programs need a good deal of RAM, so when the RAM runs out your program shuts down and a Runtime Error message appears.
2. Free up space on your hard drive. You often need several hundred megabytes of space on your hard drive just to run the program smoothly. If your hard drive is almost completely full, delete some programs and files. Click the 'Start' button, followed by 'Control Panel.' Select 'Add or Remove Programs' ('Programs' in newer versions of Windows), click a program you no longer use, choose 'Delete' and the program is deleted from your hard drive, clearing room for the Adobe software to run smoother.
3. Run an anti-virus software scan. Sometimes a virus or malware on your system can cause the Runtime Error. Running a full system scan can catch the virus and remove it. You can purchase a complete virus software such as Norton or McAfee, or download one for free from CNET.com or PCWorld.com. Launch the software (it is either found on the desktop or on the 'Start' menu), select the 'C:' drive as the area you want to scan, then click 'Full Scan' (or just 'Scan'). The software scans the computer for any viruses or malware. Once complete select 'Remove All' and all of the infected files are removed from your computer.
4. Close your Adobe program, power down the computer, then restart the computer and launch the software. Sometimes the program can boot incorrectly and cause Runtime Errors while in use.
