How to Fix a 3194 Downgrading Error


1. Connect your iPod or iPad to your computer using a USB cable, and open iTunes.
2. Disconnect all other USB devices from the computer.
3. Click “Help” on a PC or click “iTunes” on a Mac.
4. Click “Check for Updates.” According to the Apple website, updating iTunes to the newest version fixes many instances of error code 3194. An updated iTunes account should be compatible with most devices, including older, downgraded versions.
5. Click the Windows “Start” orb, type “Windows Update” into the blank start menu field, click the update icon, and click “Check for Updates.” On a Mac, click the Apple menu, click “Software Update,” and click to install any available updates. Out-of-date operating system firmware can sometimes cause error code 3194.
6. Right-click on any firewalls and anti-virus protection in your system tray and click “Exit” or “Close.” Overzealous security measures can sometimes block iTunes and result in system restore error codes.

How to Restore a Missing Msvcr71.dll


1. Open your Web browser and go to any DLL download site's page for msvcr71.dll. (See Resources for links.) Click on the link labeled 'Download msvcr71.dll,' or something similar. If you are using dll-files.com, ignore the warning regarding advanced computer skills needed---this is merely a ploy to get you to purchase their auto-installation package. For that site, click the 'Download' button and then the link in the window that pops up, to obtain the file.
2. Double-click on the downloaded ZIP file to open it. Right-click on the DLL in the file browser that opens and select 'Copy.'
3. Browse to your computer's system folder. This is C:\Windows\System32 on most versions, and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 on 64-bit operating systems. Paste the copied DLL into this folder, so that Windows can find it next time it's needed. If the site you use gives you the DLL in uncompressed form, the way dlldump.com does, simply save it here instead.
4. Reboot your computer.

How to Install DLL Files


1. Find out the full name of the DLL file that you require (for example, esck_001.dll). Write this down in a notepad document or on a piece of paper.
2. Use Google, or some other search engine, to locate the DLL. You can usually find these types of files on DLL collection websites (see Resources).
3. Follow the on-screen steps to download the file to your computer. Save it in an easily accessible location such as your desktop, or your 'My Documents' folder. Make sure not to rename the DLL file when downloading.

5. Right-click on the .dll file, and select 'cut.'
6. Navigate to your root drive (usually C:), and then to 'Windows' and 'system32.' Anywhere in this folder, right click on the screen, and select 'paste.' This will copy the DLL into the registry folder for Windows.
7.
Go to your start menu, and open the 'Run' program. In the text area, type 'regsvr32' then the path and name of the DLL file you just copied (for example, type 'regsvr32 C://windows/system32/esck_001.dll').
