Replacing Missing DLL Files





A DLL file is essentially a unique function that developers can include with their applications. These files contain instructions for the computer and OS (operating system). If one of these files is missing, it can cause a lot of problems, especially since there are so many of them.

The best way to deal with missing DLL files is to rely on the System File Checker — an integrated Windows utility. It will scan the system files on your computer’s main hard drive and check to see if anything is missing or corrupted. It’s entirely possible for files to exist, but they might become corrupted over time. This can even happen if a hard drive is starting to fail.

The System File Checker will scan all the necessary directories and will replace or repair files as needed.

You can also use your Windows install CD or installation ISO to manually copy the DLL files needed, but this is a lot more complicated.
