Couldn’t Find *.dll

Tuesday, Feb. 22 2005 | Author: derek

One of the most infuriating things about Windows for me is when you get one of those damn “Couldn’t find *.dll” error messages and you have no idea where to find them either. Well now you can, even if Windows is too stupid to do it for you.

Head over to DLL-Files.com the next time you need to find a DLL, and download some of the most common ones that mysteriously go missing.

You must be reading digg as well.

Usually when you get these messages the .dll is not missing but was realy just unregistered somehow.

Try re-regsitering it, especially if you grab a different version…

from the Run line “regsvr32 .dll” usually works. I believe in XP you can right click the file and register\unregister at will.

How can we track what caused it to be unregistered?
