How to Stop DLL File Errors

Dynamic library link files, also called dll files, are the most important components of a system. They contain the system operation information and how the different devices and programs work with each other. If a dll is missing, certain programs or devices will not work properly. Sometimes, if an important system dll is corrupted, the computer will not even boot up.

 

Dll file errors are not rare. They can happen under many occasions, for example, when a program’s setup file is corrupted or when a virus is removed from system. Such errors can cause great troubles to the users and could be very annoying sometimes since the pop up error message cannot be closed.

  • Type the following command, and then press ENTER: sfc /scannow
    [The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.]
  • A message will appear stating that ‘The system scan will begin’. Be patient because the scan may take some time.
  • If any files require a replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue.
  • If everything is okay you should, after the scan, see the following message “Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations”.
