How to Sort Dll Problems on Vista


Instructions
1. Go to 'Start' on your taskbar and select 'Run.' A pop=up window will appear to open the 'Run' tool. Type the letters 'cmd' in the search box and press 'OK.'
2. Look for the DLL file name in the search results listing and examine the file path for the DLL file. Most DLL files on Windows Vista are located in the file path: 'C:\Windows\System32' or sometimes in the subfolder, 'C:\Documents and Settings.'
3. Unregister the DLL file from the directory. Type 'regsvr32 /u C:\filepath\DLL_filename' in the command prompt. The text 'filepath' and 'DLL_filename' are shown as placeholders and you should substitute this information with a specific file path and DLL file name that you want to unregister.
4. Press the 'Enter' key after typing the command. This will unregister and delete the DLL file from the Windows file registry. Avoid deleting system or shared DLL files that may be used by other programs. Your computer could crash, and you may lose important data. Make sure that you back up or rename any DLL files that you plan to unregister and delete from the Windows file registry.
5. Download the latest version of any deleted or missing DLL files from the internet. Reinstall the files onto your computer and copy the DLL files in the file path 'C:\Windows\System32.'

Microsoft has specified different instructions for the many .exe files available. The instructions, however are very detailed, difficult and time-consuming.

How to Fix a Computer That Fails to Startup


How to Fix a Desktop Computer That Fails to Start Up
1. Check the power source. Go to the wall outlet where the computer, or its power strip, is plugged in and work toward the computer. Fix any problem you find and test your machine again.
2. Disconnect all cables coming out of the back of your desktop. Remove the cover. Reconnect the power cord. When you press the 'On' button, do any tiny lights illuminate on the motherboard, the power supply, or the status indicator lights on the front? If neither lights nor sound are emitted, your power supply may be dead.
3. Shut down the machine. Disconnect the power supply from the motherboard and any drives or other devices. Remove the four screws that hold the power supply in place on the chassis. Remove the power supply box.
4. Use a power supply tester to quickly test the box. If any lights come up red on the tester, the power supply is dead. If you don't have a tester, acquire an identical power supply you know is good from another source, such as another computer, and substitute it for a 'tester.'
5. Rest this 'tester' power supply on the outside of the computer. Plug it into the motherboard. Plug the monitor cable back in. Turn on the computer. If the computer boots to BIOS, your original power supply is certainly bad. Replace it before continuing testing.
6. Shut down the computer. Gently remove the silver clock battery from the motherboard. Press the power button to clear any residual electricity. Now put the clock battery back in. Reconnect the monitor and reboot. If the computer doesn't boot to BIOS, your motherboard is most likely bad. If it passes this test, continue.
7. Test the hard drive last. Shut down the computer. Switch the electrical connector serving the hard drive with a different one. Test again. If that doesn't work, disconnect the IDE cable connecting the hard drive to the motherboard and replace it with another IDE cable. If these steps fail to boot the drive, shut the computer down. Remove the hard drive. Install the hard drive as a proper slave drive on another computer and see if can be read by this other machine. Turn on the computer and go to 'Start,' 'My Computer,' and look for this slave drive. If it can't be found, the hard drive is probably dead. Replace it and reinstall Windows.

How to Run OCX Files

How to Find Shell32.Dll for IE6


Locating Your Version of Shell32.dll and Determining Its Version
1. Double click on the icon that says 'My Computer', or click on the Start button and select 'My Computer' from the menu. This will open a Windows Explorer window for navigating through the file system of your computer.
2. Double click on the icon labeled 'C:\'. Then double click on the folder that says WINDOWS. This will take you to the Windows directory.
3. Double click on the folder labeled System32 within the Windows Directory. This is where Windows installs Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files. (DLL files are shared components that many programs use; Windows stores them and loads them as needed.)
4. Click on the 'Tools' menu item at the top of the Windows Explorer panel. Select 'Folder Options'. From the dialog window that comes up, select the 'View' tab.
5. Click the check box for 'show hidden files and folders' if it is not checked already; this will make sure that Windows isn't hiding the DLL files from you.
6. Look for the file 'shell32.dll'. Put your mouse cursor over the file, and click with the right mouse button. A small menu (called a context sensitive menu) will pop up. Select 'Properties'. Look at the version number. The most recent version of shell32.dll for Windows XP (and IE6) is 6.0.2900.6018, which was updated in Windows XP Service Pack 3. For Windows Vista the most recent version begins with 6.0.1, and for Windows 7 it begins with 6.1.0.
Updating Your Version of Shell32.dll to the Most Recent Version.
7. Launch Internet Explorer. Microsoft Update will not run with other web browsers.
8. Navigate to Microsoft Support (see Resources).
9. Click on the link that says 'Windows Update.' Microsoft's website will ask for some information about your Windows installation to determine what Service Pack level you're at. It will then prompt you to save the service pack, and after it's downloaded, the installer will prompt you to reboot.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 3 of this section as often as necessary until you're up to the most recent service pack for your version of Windows. This will update shell32.dll to the most recent version for your operating system, as well as plugging many security holes in the operating system.
