How to Restore DLL Cache Files

1. See Resources for a link to dll-files.com. From this website you can download a large range of .dll files.
2. Search for the particular file that needs to be restored. If you're not sure what it is, open the program that was bringing up the .dll cache file errors. It will state what cache files they are. Write these down (many .dll files look incredibly similar), then go back and select the file. The files can be searched by the first letter (or number) that appears in the name, then the list will be alphabetized.
3. Click 'Click here to go to the download of---' with the name of the file you need to download following it. A new window will now load. This time select 'Download ------' followed by the name of the file. The file will now be downloaded in zip format to the computer.
4. Open the file. If a zip program is installed on the computer it will automatically launch. If not, the second link in 'Resources' provides a trial version of WinZip. Locate the file in the system directory (C:\\Windows\System32) and click 'Extract.' This will restore the .dll cache files that were missing.
5. Restart the computer. When the computer finishes booting, launch the program that was having the issues. It should now open and run properly without any error.
