How to Replace Missing Registry amp; DLL Files

1. Note the filename of the missing DLL in the error message. Many DLLs have long and cryptic names made up of seemingly-random letters and numbers, so be sure you have it exactly as displayed. One simple solution is to save it to the clipboard and paste it in when you need it.
2. Visit a DLL download website (see Resources) and search for the file in question. Download it and extract the ZIP file to a hard-drive location of your choice. The logical choices are C:\Windows\System32 or the folder of the program that requires it, but anywhere will do.
3. Press Win-R to open the Run dialog. Enter the following command:Regsvr32 'C:\Windows\System32\example.dll'Replace the path and filename with that of your DLL. This will catalog the file in the Windows Registry, and allow programs to find it in the future.
