DLL Errors Repair - How to Fix DLL Errors on Your Windows Computer System
DLL Errors are one of the most common and annoying errors that can affect a Windows computer. Not only do these errors prevent you from being able to do your work, but they can stop you playing games and browsing the Internet. Fortunately, there's a simple method to fix these errors for good.
DLL errors are caused by.dll files which are resident files inside Windows. The "DLL" part of the file stands for "Dynamic Link Library" and is what your computer uses to provide programs with a series of system-wide features and functions. They are created to provide software developers with a common 'library' of information and functions that they can use to make their programs more streamlined and effective. For example, the top right hand minimize & exit buttons inside Windows are all created with DLLs, ensuring that every program has the same format and layout.
These files are vital for the smooth operation of Windows and are used every day. However, they are also the source of ".dll errors" which are caused by these files being unable to be used as Windows would like to. Whenever you use programs, Windows wants to open and read a series of these files to help it run. However, if it cannot read or is unable to find the DLL file it needs, it's going to throw up an error.
DLL errors are caused by 4 main issues -
1) faulty or corrupt applications,
2) spyware / virus infections,
3) damaged hardware &
4) registry issues.
Most of the time, these errors can be fixed by going through a method which fixes each of these causes, such as this:
- Reinstall any application that won't start because of the DLL error
- Replace any missing / faulty DLL file
- Perform an antivirus / antispyware check
- Check all hardware is working fine
- Clean out the registry in case any errors are inside it
