MISSING .DLL FILE

A dynamic link library (DLL) is a collection of small programs, which can be called upon when needed by the executable program (EXE) that is running. The DLL lets the executable communicate with a specific device such as a printer or may contain source code to do particular functions.

The advantage of DLL files is that, because they do not get loaded into random access memory (RAM) together with the main program, space is saved in RAM. When and if a DLL file is called, then it is loaded. For example, you are editing a Microsoft Word document, the printer DLL file does not need to be loaded into RAM. If you decide to print the document, then the printer DLL file is loaded and a call is made to print.

All in all, a DLL is an executable file that cannot  run on its own, it can only run from inside an executable file. This would be like having a car without an engine, where as an executable has an engine.

Let me come to the point now. J Sometimes your computer may miss .dll file of some software. When you try to open those softwares, due to inavailability of the required .dll file, the application may not run. There is one good reason for .dll files to disappear from the computer. It is not that one .dll file will be used by only one .exe file. Several .exe files can use a single .dll file. So in such situation, when you uninstall a software which used a .dll file say for eg. xxx.dll , then xxx.dll might have been deleted. So when we try to open a software which uses the same xxx.dll file will not find that file and it will report an error in a dialog box.

In such a case never panic. Its very easy to tackle such situations. There are various sites which provides .dll files which u can download and continue using the software free of error!!! J Some of them are below…

www.dll-files.com/

www.dlldump.com/

www.dlldll.com/

you can google and find more sites if u didn’t get .dll file in one site.
