How to fix Windows system errors associated with missing dlls

This article will focus on system errors associated with dynamic libraries. That is, files that have a .dll extension. Many users of the Windows operating system could observe them when trying to run any games or programs. Most often they arise during these actions. In the article, we will not only present you a definition of this phenomenon, but also offer several solutions, so read to the end to be savvy, as they say.

Definition

We begin, of course, with the definition of the system error itself. After all, before solving a problem, you need to familiarize yourself with it and understand all the nuances. So, errors associated with the absence of DLL files, as mentioned above, most often occur at startup or while a game or program is running. The DLL extension itself indicates that we are dealing with a dynamic library. This is the same program, only, unlike the first, it works immediately with all programs.

For example, there are two video players. You all wanted to play MP4 video in one, using the appropriate DLL for this. If you also run the same video in the second player, then the same DLL will help to reproduce it. By the way, system errors in Windows occur due to the lack of a dynamic library necessary for the application to work. Now let's talk about the reasons in more detail.

Why it happens?

Since we were talking about the causes of DLL system errors, it’s worth immediately indicating that there are only three of them:

1. The library file is not on the computer.
2. The file has been moved to the wrong directory.
3. The library was corrupted by a virus.

It is worth focusing on the third reason. The fact is that the first two can easily be fixed by following one of the instructions that will be attached below, but things are a bit different with the virus. If you have malware on your computer that somehow affects the library file, then even after replacing this file you will receive an error, because the virus will damage it again. That is why, before starting to fix the error, check the computer for viruses and delete them if it is detected.

Solution # 1: Use DLL Suite

It is worth saying right away that in the article we will consider the simplest ways of how to fix a DLL system error. And the first method involves the use of DLL Suite. Without a lot of ranting, let's get right to the point. You must first install this application on your computer. And you should download it exclusively from the official site, otherwise you can bring viruses to your computer.

After the program is installed, to correct the error you need to follow these steps:

1. Run the program.
2. Go to the "Download DLL" category.
3. In the search box, enter the name of the dynamic library that is not on the computer.
4. Click "Search".
5. In the results, click on the desired library.
6. Click "Download" opposite the desired version.

After that, a window will appear in which you need to pave the path to the directory where the library will be installed. If you do not know it for sure, then leave it as it is, the program most often does everything correctly by default.

Remedy number 2: use the program DLL-Files.com Client

There is another program that will quickly fix the DLL system error. It is called DLL-Files.com Client. As last time, download and install it on your computer, but before following the instructions, follow these steps.

• Open the app.
• Enter the name of the library in the appropriate field.
• Perform a search.
• Click on the found library.
• Click "Install."

This time, you don’t even need to specify the directory where you want to place the dynamic library, since the program will do everything on its own.
