When you see a DLL Error message on your computer screen, it can often lead to frustration because you know that it means you can't access a file or program. Even people who aren't fluent in programming language can understand that this particular error message means that you will have to actively change something if you ever want to get that particular program to work again.
However, when you understand what the DLL Error is actually trying to tell you, you might be happy to see it. Of course, nobody wants to do the extra work, but fixing a single error that can affect a wide variety of Windows programs should give you a more positive outlook on the problem.
If you see a DLL Error message then that means that there is a problem in the Dynamic Link Library. If you don't know what this is, that's okay because most people don't, but it's easy to understand. The Dynamic Link Library is a collection of files that are commonly used by many Windows programs. Programmers designed the DLL so that these programs don't have to be individually coded.
If you see a DLL Error message it means that one of the files in this library is corrupt, missing, or incomplete and you will have to repair or replace it. Unfortunately this means that every program that uses that file will be disabled until you do so. Thankfully, the same programmers who designed the DLL also made sure that you are able to find the broken file with ease.
First of all, the DLL Error message will always be followed by the name of the file where the problem resides. If you know how to fix the problem you can go there immediately and do so. Of course, many people do not know how to fix it, but you can easily copy and paste the filename in a web browser for suggestions and instructions.
Sometimes this is a very easy process and you can find a new file and replace it. Sometimes, though, you will find that the problem is caused by a virus or by malware, which target the DLL because it provides access to several programs. Simply use the appropriate security tools and you might be able to solve the problem.
Finally, the DLL Error may be caused by registry problems, which frequently occur from installing and removing programs. You can use software similar to virus software to find these registry problems and repair them for you.
