RegCure will attempt to repair, not replace your missing Dll

With many DLL errors, you will have to do your research to discover the exact reasons behind the error. A good place to start this research is the Microsoft knowledge base website. The knowledge base contains literally thousands of articles, many of them related to DLL errors providing the reasons, the symptoms of the error, and the advised resolution. Where a Windows update has been released to assist in the resolution, a link is also usually provided to make your life easier.

It is possible that the Windows knowledge base will not contain the answers you are looking for. Use one of the major search engines and enter either the full error message you are receiving or just the name of the DLL. When you search, you will typically be presented with a number of websites, forums, and other resources that provide possible solutions. Do remember, that while these sites can be extremely useful, they are not always affiliated with Windows or with the software that is generating the error message.

If your online research has not generated a solution then you might need to take it to the next step. The error message you receive should, in most cases, contain the name of the DLL that it is attempting to call but this information alone is not nearly enough to help resolve the problem. There are applications available that will find and list all of the DLLs and processes that running software is calling. It will also display the path to the DLL, which is invaluable information for your purposes. Look at the full DLL name, path, and version number and then navigate to this folder on your computer.

Once you have found the path where the DLL should be loaded you will be able to determine whether the file is missing, incorrectly named, or if there is another problem. If the file is incorrectly named then you can create a copy of the necessary DLL and rename this copy. Unless otherwise instructed you should leave the original “incorrectly named” DLL in this folder, in case it is required by another program. Renaming the copy means that you have both the original and the renamed version of it on your system.

Even the slightest difference in the name of the file will make a DLL inoperable. A missing digit, an extra digit, or the inclusion of a version number that is different to the one you require can render the DLL completely useless. However, different DLLs can also be given names that are very similar in appearance. To be safe, it may be best to download and install a version of the DLL that you know to be correct.

If the DLL appears to be missing altogether, then it could either be saved in a different location, or it could be missing altogether. The safest means to resolve either of these problems is to download the right version of the DLL and save it to the path that is being called by your software. Check you are downloading at least the desired version of the DLL, although most are backward compatible so it should be OK to download a later version. Also ensure that you save the DLL to the exact location that your software is calling. If you place it in the wrong folder, thereby giving it a different path to the one that the application is using, then you still will not be able to use the functions within the file.
