I am also going to jump ahead and hope you do not over look post number 5 above.
It often happens that the different programs you install on a Windows operating system can share one or more .dll files between them. so that you have a clearer understanding, .dll files contain code and data that are used by multiple programs on any windows based computer. This is a very good way of doing things, however, at times when you uninstall one particular program, a .dll file that it shares with another program might also be incorrectly removed with the program. This is not good because this little missing file will give you the "Missing .dll File" error you are currently recieving, which can also cause a lot of different programs to stop working once this .dll is missing.
This happens, because the other programs that use the shared file will continue to look for that missing .dll. This usually happens during the startup process, causing a program to crash and you just end up with a lot of useless frustration. Reinstalling a program usually rectifies this problem, however this can also be avoided by just reinstalling that one .dll file that has gone missing. I will briefly discuss how you can reinstall any missing .dll files.
Step 1: Is to get ahold of that file that is missing. There are a lot of resources online where you can download the .dll files you need to re-install. Some of the popular ones are www.dll-files.com, www.dlldump.com and www.dlldll.com. These Web sites maintain a comprehensive database of useful .dll files that users can download.
Step 2: Once you download the .dll files, you'll need to uncompress that in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. (You can get there by going to My Computer, C: drive and so on). Next, click the Start button and go to Run or you can press the Windows key + R. Either way, the Run box should pop up. Now, say you want to install a .dll file named "run32.dll." In that case, type in “regsvr32 run32.dll” and press Enter. You can follow that same example for any .dll file you need to find.
So, it's essentially “regsvr32" with the name of the .dll file inserted in. If the file has been installed properly, you will see a box telling you that everything has gone well.
1.) Download the required .dll files that are missing.
2.) Extract it to the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder.
3.) Execute the "regsrv32" command by using the Run dialogue box.
Hope this helps you recover from this missing .dll error.
